Broadway Musicals
By MADY BRAND
Theatre has been used over the centuries to share stories beyond the communications of the word, to express rather than to tell. Musical theatre adds another layer to the story; rather than just being told of them, we begin to understand feelings and gain more depth through the music and dance that has been added, to take the expression to a whole other level. Broadway has made itself famous for being the center of the American theatre industry. It’s made up of over 40 professional theaters. Shows that have been performed on Broadway are considered to have been granted the highest honor of theatrical success. Though famous for theatre in general, Broadway is particularly well-known for its musical theatre. Hundreds of musicals over the years have been awarded the title of being called a Broadway Musical, but now the spotlight will be shined on three of them: the 1988 production of “The Phantom of the Opera”, the 2003 production of “Wicked”, and the 2015 production of “Hamilton”.
