Musical theatre uses song, dance and dialogue to tell a story. The very popular genre's roots go back centuries and there are specialized roles involved in putting on a production of a modern musical.
The antecedents of the musical can be traced to a number of 19th-century forms of entertainment including the music hall, comic opera, burlesque, vaudeville, variety shows, pantomime, and the minstrel show. These early entertainments blended the traditions of French ballet, acrobatics, and dramatic interludes.
