La La Land: If the European Union Was a Musical, What Would It Be?

2016 was a year of much drama for the European Union, as refugees and ordinary citizens can surely attest. For one, it had all the makings of a Greek tragedy whilst also, as Britain’s Brexit negotiating team demonstrated, it resembled a vaudeville farce. The question however is: if the EU was a musical, which one would it be?

Of course, the EU may not be the only international organization you associate with a theatrical production, whether sad, humorous or tragic. NASA's intergalactic ambitions may bring to mind Starlight Express and NATO's childish brutishness — Bugsy Malone.
