Vaudeville originated in the late 1800s as a light song in France that was later adapted for the stage in France, England, and the United States. It evolved into a variety show consisting of music, comedy, and theater acts intended to appeal to a wide audience. Vaudeville became popular in the United States in the 1870s, with acts performing in theaters across the country. Audiences of up to two million people would flock to the vaudeville shows daily. Burlesque originated as a parody of popular songs and arias from opera until the 1870s, when it became one-hour shows parodying popular music and entertainment.Winnipegs "nuit blanche"- no sleep just art

The document discusses how musicals have changed across different time periods from Ancient Greek theatre to modern rock musicals. In Ancient Greece between 550-220 BC, musical plays were performed in open-air theatres for religious festivals and focused on myths and the gods. By the 18th century, Ballad Operas emerged in England and used songs within sentimental plays, targeting both upper and middle classes. Musical halls became popular in the 1830s as variety entertainment for all classes. Vaudeville shows in the late 19th to early 20th century featured many unrelated acts to entertain audiences of all statuses. Rock musicals originated in the 1960s and used rock music to differentiate from traditional musical plays.7 A. Musical Theater

This document provides an overview of several landmark musicals from the late 19th century to present day. It discusses how musicals evolved over time to integrate dance, music, and drama more fully. Early musicals emphasized one art form more than others, such as dance in The Black Crook. Over the 20th century, musicals pioneered combining the art forms through innovations like dream ballets in Oklahoma and dramatic integration of song in Show Boat. While some argue all three art forms must be perfectly balanced, many successful musicals emphasize one form, such as dance-heavy Chicago.

Broadway shows have evolved over time from the early 1900s. In the early 1900s, Broadway was developing as a cultural center and attracted large audiences with affordable tickets. By the 1920s, Broadway reached its prime with many productions. However, by the late 1960s and 1970s, Broadway experienced a decline as movies and television became more popular forms of entertainment. Some memorable musicals from this period included West Side Story and The Sound of Music. Today, Broadway remains an important tourist attraction for New York, selling over a billion dollars in tickets annually.1920s Broadway (finished)
