 I don’t care if you end up loving or hating musical theater (although I hope you love it)  Give it a chance…  Which means, open your heart and your mind up to the possibility that musical theater might be awesome!

Where did musical theatre come from?  Musical theatre has been around since the beginning of theatre in Greece more than 2000 years ago.  The musicals that we think of today, first became popular with the development of television. When television was created a number of people who went to the movies declined… why go to a movie when you can watch the same thing on television at home …enter musicals.  Movie Studios decided that they needed to come up with a type of movie that people couldn’t see at home on television, they came up with the musical. Take Notes!

 How are musical’s different from television?  Big Budget: Television shows have a limited budget. Musicals also have large casts, and elaborate costumes and sets.  Musical Numbers: The characters occasionally burst into song…TV didn’t have that…until Glee …now we have Glee, Smash, Nashville, and more! Take Notes!
