Musical Theatre
Musical theatre is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs,
spoken dialogue, acting and dance. The story and emotional content of a
musical – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through words,
music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an
integrated whole. Although musical theatre overlaps with other
theatrical forms like opera and dance, it may be distinguished by the
equal importance given to the music as compared with the dialogue,
movement and other elements. Since the early 20th century, musical
theatre stage works have generally been called, simply, musicals.
