Actually, it's an Oratorio, not a musical ... The Messiah. It actually has 3 parts - the first part is generally performed at Christmas time. The 2nd part is performed around Easter. Although the Hallelujah Chorus is sung most often at Christmas, it was originally intended, by Handel, to be used only at Easter, as it is included in the Easter portion of that oratorio.
