Coming together to capture Oscar for musical (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
lion king
'musical' is the definition.
(The Lion King is a stage musical)
'coming together to capture oscar' is the wordplay.
'coming together' becomes 'linking' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to capture' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'oscar' becomes 'O' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'linking' placed around 'o' is 'LION KING'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
