Musical

The pop musical subgenre features elements of pop music in its songs, style, and overall presentation. Pop musicals often feature catchy melodies, contemporary musical arrangements, and themes that resonate with modern audiences. These musicals combine the conventions of traditional musical theater with the popular music sensibilities of the time.

The jukebox musical subgenre features pre-existing songs, often popular hits from a specific artist or era, as the foundation of its musical score. These musicals use well-known songs to tell a new or existing story, creating a unique blend of familiar music and original narrative. The term "jukebox" refers to the concept of selecting songs from a jukebox, a machine that plays music when coins are inserted.
