Broadway musical

Sung New York

A Broadway musical is a theatrical production combining spoken dialogue, songs, and dance, staged in the major theater district of New York City.

The term implies professional production values, union performers, and commercial ambition.

Shows that succeed on Broadway often tour nationally or spawn productions in London's West End.
