| | Musical theater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Musical theater (or theatre) is a form of theatre combining music, songs, dance, and spoken dialogue. | | | Musical theater/theatre is a collaborative craft with a long history of traditional forms and structures, although new writing in musicals is constantly stretching and testing the enormous flexibility of the artform, taking it to previously unexplored places. | | | The musical components of a musical are generally referred to as the score, with sung lines considered the lyrics and the spoken lines the book, or occasionally the libretto (a term also frequently applied to text of an opera, it incorporates the words of both dialogue and lyric). |

| | Fred Barton: Forbidden Broadway |
| | She had a precise technique and philosophy of performing musical theatre parody, one that gradually prevailed throughout the evening and one that I tried to capture equally precisely in the musical settings. | | | In the second edition, Forbidden Broadway 1984, my new number was "I'm Sick Of Playing Their Songs," depicting some actors' poor treatment of audition accompanists; in the 1985 edition, I impersonated Sondheim, singing "Thank you, Frank Rich" to the tune of "Send In The Clowns." | | | Regretfully, as time passed, Forbidden Broadway inevitably transmogrified into the wildly costumed tourist fodder it once parodied (the original was performed in black evening clothes with an occasional hat, recalling the simplicity and class of May and Nichols and the golden age of revue). |
