Musical theatre is a form of theatre combining music, songs, spoken dialogue and dance. The emotional content of the piece – humor, pathos, 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.

Some famous musicals include Show Boat, Oklahoma!, West Side Story, The Fantasticks, Hair, A Chorus Line, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Rent, and The Producers.

What are some musicals for high school students with a majority of girls in the cast?
Q. We are a small all-girl school but sometimes boys from our brother school try out. But many of the boys that do try out cannot sing. We don't have much of a budget and do with what we can get.(Our school neglects the performing and fine arts department a lot.) We really can't pull off any major musicals so off-Broadway shows are great too. If you guys have any suggestions it would be very appreciated. Thanks!

A. Several ideas come to mind: Songs for a New World (tricky score, but very rewarding), Nine, A Year with Frog and Toad (can be played by either men or women)...However most shows generally have a fair mix of both men in women. A show that has a majority of female parts would also be Gypsy (Two songs with men) and Thoroughly Modern Millie (Trickier with lots of dance, but with plenty of female roles).

What are some of your favorite musicals/broadway shows?
Q. Im looking for music for my voice lessons, and I need to get a bunch from broadway or other musicals. Any favorites I shouldnt miss? Im not too familiar with them, so let me know which ones are your fave, and especially if you have a favorite song from it. Thanks!

A. Wicked of course. It has a good range of songs for inexperienced to experienced (aka Defying Gravity! Hard to sing!). Thoroughly Modern Millie also has good songs that you could sing for classes. Ssome of my other favorites are Hairspray (most of the songs sung by Tracy), Little Shop of Horrors (songs sung by Audrey), Rent (random songs- Light My Candle, Goodbye Love, etc), Gypsy, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Nothing Is Too Wonderful To Be True is one I can think of right now). They All have good songs.
