Musical theatre
Musical theatre is a mixture of Dance, drama and singing. costumes, wigs and makeup are worn so the actor look like the characters on stage.
Musical theatre is mostly performed to larger audiences in theatres and large stages. Lots of musicals gain world wide fame and get played in some of the biggest theatres like broadway (In New York). Lots of musicals have made it big time like: Lion King, Cats, Mamma Mia and beauty and the beast. These shows can go on for months and months on end. Broadway sit hundreds of people and their show are spectacular.
There are lots of different ways to get ready for a stage production like: hair and makeup, costume, warmups, prop moving and getting a microphone, and then they are ready to start. Broadway rehearsal schedules are normally 6 day a week and eight hours a day. Seven of these hour are rehearsal and the other hour is a break.it is normally 10am-6pm. These people are professional they get payed for it. This is their job.The show would not been able to happen if you don't have backstage people. Hair, makeup, lighting, props, microphones, director, choreographers, singing teachers and costume fitters.these people are a crucial part of a stage production.
There are multiple things actors have to do to get into a musical first they go to a meeting and then they go through auditions and call backs (if needed) after that they wait and wait to see if they got in.
Musical theatre has been giving joy and happiness to people's lives for hundreds of years. And it is not going to stop now.
