Musical

Musical theatre is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance. It started in the late 19th century in the United States, evolving out of vaudeville and minstrel shows. Early musical theatre works were often adaptations of popular operas, operettas, and other types of music, as well as revues and burlesque. As the century progressed, musical theatre moved away from these sources and began to develop its own unique identity. By the mid-20th century, musical theatre had become a popular form of entertainment in many countries around the world. Musicals often feature a main story and several subplots, and often include elements of comedy, romance, and drama.
