Musical Genres

Musicals usually include lots of songs and dance in everyday locations. The setting is usually just around normal everyday life, and not in eccentric locations that you wouldn't normally see. What makes musicals distinctive is that it is normal day-to-day routines with songs fitting in with what's going on in the storyline. An example of this is High School Musical where it is a normal school with teenagers but with songs and dancing periodically.

Musicals are also normally set around a small to medium sized group of main characters with other smaller characters appearing and then back-up singers. The size of the crowd depends on the storyline.
