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 thought that Bollywood could get so big
but now everyone knows what Bollywood is.
Musical theatre is traced back all the way to ancient Greece when they started to combine music and dance to their on stage comedies. At first parts of Europe only songs in their musical performances and these were called opera but as time went on composers started to experiment with different styles. Around the 1850 a French composer named Herve came up with comic musical theatre called operetta. The adaption of these were called musical burlesques which became really big in London in the 1870s. These are very different to musicals today as today musicals contain more popular music. There is also more spoken dialogue in modern musicals then operettas. They also try attract musicals to younger people by creating musicals with more modern music like rap a good example of this is the new musical Hamilton this musical contain loads of rap particularly in the song guns and ships. There are musicals set in loads of different places. It can go from Paris in France all the way to Chicago in A
