Gonna be lenient here and allow you to have this as Musical
The listed genre is "Music" instead of "Musical"

But if people think it shouldn't be allowable, then I can choose something else
So I thought that the Music category was reserved for things like theatrically released music concerts or documentaries about music/musicians and so I thought that Sing Street was a mistake.
Since others have pointed out that it's a different category/not a mistake and also that they would have picked differently if "Music" was allowed in the "Musical" category then I'm going to revert to the rules as originally stated.
That means that the categories available for Sing Street are:
Comedy
Drama
Romance
Other (Music)
B - Movie
since Gad has Comedy, Drama, Romance and Other filled this will have to go in the B - Movie category.
Might seem harsh, but it's pretty clear in the rules that repicks are only allowed if the movie is already taken and that in this instance you must fill whatever slot is still available to you.
Carl even questioned the fact that IMDb might screw people over by iffy genre decisions and I said that "It's a risk, but it's not a bad mechanic to have in a game like this".
