Musical Theatre

I was watching The Producers today, and I realized how many different art forms musicals have within them.  First, there's drama, which is the main one of course, but they also include dance, which I've talked about in my blog before, as well as singing, and of course physical art when it comes to the sets and props in the play.  While watching it on film is completely different from seeing a play or musical on stage, they share the same elements of art within them.  The costumes, lighting, and sets are all part of the physical art aspect of the play.  Everything about a musical is full of art, and it is all pulled together beautifully to create a masterpiece.
