Etymology

The term 'musical' originated in the early 20th century as a shorthand for 'musical comedy', a genre that emerged in the United States. It evolved from earlier forms of entertainment, such as vaudeville and operetta, which featured musical numbers alongside comedic sketches. The first recognized musical in this sense is often credited to be 'Show Boat', which premiered in 1927, blending serious themes with musical performance. Over the decades, musicals expanded to include a variety of styles and themes, becoming a vital part of American culture and theatre. The term has since evolved to encompass a wide range of musical performances, from large-scale Broadway productions to smaller, community theatre shows, and is now used globally to describe similar theatrical forms.
