Musical theatre

Musical theatre is a dramatic art form that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance to tell a story. Originating in the early 20th century, it features a range of styles, from classic productions like "The Phantom of the Opera" to contemporary works such as "Hamilton." Typically performed in theaters, musicals engage audiences through emotional and entertaining narratives. The music, often integral to character development and plot progression, enhances the overall experience, making it a dynamic form of storytelling that appeals to diverse audiences.
