    Broadway music

    Musical theatre
    - a form of theatre combining music, songs,
    spoken dialogue and dance. The emotional
    content of the piece – humor, tragedy, love,
    anger – as well as the story itself, is
    communicated through the words, music,
    movement and technical aspects of the
    entertainment as an integrated whole. Since the
    early 20th century, musical theatre stage works
    have generally been called simply, "musicals".
    • Musicals are performed all around the world.
    They may be presented in large venues, such
    as big budget West End and Broadway theatre
    productions in London and New York City, or
    in smaller fringe theatre, Off-Broadway or
    regional productions, on tour, or by amateur
    groups in schools, theatres and other
    performance spaces. In addition to Britain and
    North America, there are vibrant musical
    theatre scenes in many countries in Europe,
    Latin America and Asia.

    3 main components of a musical:
    (1) music, (2) lyrics, and (3) book. The book of a
    musical refers to the story – in effect, its
    spoken (not sung) lines; however, "book" can
    also refer to the dialogue and lyrics together,
    which are sometimes referred to (as in opera)
    as the libretto (Italian for “little book”). The
    music and lyrics together form the score of the
    musical.
    The creative team
    - includes a director, a musical director
    and usually a choreographer. A musical's
    production is also creatively
    characterized by technical aspects, such
    as set, costumes, stage properties,
    lighting, etc. that generally change from
    production to production
    • Musicals today are typically presented in
    two acts, with one intermission ten to
    twenty minutes in length. The first act is
    almost always somewhat longer than the
    second act, and generally introduces
    most of the music.
