Exactly. Musicals are inherently subjective, rather than objective. People don't spontaneously breakout into song in objective reality. But in musicals, it's a mechanism to express things that novels do well, but movies generally don't: the inner thoughts and feelings of the characters.
There are lots of very important events in my life that I remember clearly, but I don't always remember what year they happened in or the precise order they happened in.
Hopefully when they make a biopic about you, the research department will do its job!
