Smaller venues like fringe and community theatre also stage remarkable musical productions in a more intimate setup that shares its brilliance with major shows. Whatever kind of musical experience you're looking for, you're sure to find it.
Modern Advancements in Musical Theatre
The 19th century saw the emergence of modern Western musical theatre. Legends like Gilbert and Sullivan established several structural elements in Britain. At the turn of the 20th century, Edwardian musical comedies and several other sub-genres began to find the spotlight. While the popularity of such shows increased, London musicals grew in prominence, becoming known as one of the most desired destinations for global musical theatre performances.
The emotion in a musical is portrayed through music, movement, words, and different technical aspects such as lighting and sound effects. Musicals distinguish itself from other theatrical forms like dance and opera by giving equal importance to music as it does to movement, dialogues, acting and other elements. Overall, it is a form of expression showcasing an array of artistic and technical elements to give a wonderful experience. This is why London musicals are so memorable. Today, with advancements in technology, the production value of musicals has arguably doubled; current shows are ground-breaking with the room for unrestricted creativity and engaging storylines.
So, what are you waiting for? Pick up your tickets for top London musicals today for a truly unforgettable night of entertainment.
