| | Musical theater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | 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). | | | Musical theater (or theatre) is a form of theatre combining music, songs, dance, and spoken dialogue. | | | The musical developed from opera and operetta, but early musicals in the Roaring Twenties ignored plot in favor of emphasizing star actors and actresses, big dance routines, and popular songs (throughout the first half of the twentieth century, popular music was dominated by theater writers). |
