There are
different styles and genres of musicals. They can also take traditional music
from the sertin country the musical is set in. For example the lion king takes
traditional African music and incorporate it into the musical. They can also
include proper slang and phrases from the place it is set in. A great example
of this is in west side story as you can hear the clear distinct difference
between the sharks and the jets speech. This is because the sharks who are from
Puerto Rico have a clear Spanish accent with Spanish slang, while the jets who
are from New York have a very clear American accent with the appropriate slang.
This helps the audience to clearly different who is Spanish and who is American.
They always try to connect with the audience in whatever way they can. This
helps to transport the audience into the world you are performing in front of
them, which make them enjoy their trip to the theatre even more magical. So it
is very important that the musical is appropriately adapted to make more like
the place it is set in.
There are different types of musicals then what we all see on Broadway and the west end. The type of musical may vary based on what country you’re in. for example in India musicals may be more Bollywood style than your average musical. Bollywood is more a movie style then a musical but most Bollywood movies contain Bollywood style music. This type of music is very traditional to the Indian culture as it contains traditional instruments and traditional dances. So, it is very close to the Indian culture. This is great for anyone going to see a Bollywood movie or performance as it can easily transport you to world of Bollywood. The musicals we are more familiar with contain more popular music then traditional so it can make some sound similar, so you can easily identify Bollywood when you here it which I think is really cool. Even though I can identify other musicals it is really great to here that different but distinct sound that everyone knows is Bollywood. Before you might not have
