List and describe some subgenres that are unique to musicals.

The musical is an important form of theater and films. Though dialogue is prevalent in musicals, the majority of the narrative and dramatic structure comes from song and dance. It is through song that plot points are made and through dance that emotions are expressed.

Themes in musicals are as diverse as those in other genres of film or theater. The films West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof focus on social and economic aspects. In West Side Story, the protagonists, romantically involved, come from different social and ethnic backgrounds. It is a modern Romeo and Juliet. In Fiddler on the Roof, tradition meets outside influences head-on as Tevye, the main character, attempts to cope with maintaining his Jewish culture and tradition to marry off his daughters. Common themes in musicals include romance and religion.
