The American "Musical" once started around the form of classical and operatic music. It described the stories that people had read about or wanted to tell. The works of Sondheim and Webber focused on a sophisticated way of telling a story.
Over time, we see these musicals change from, "Phantom of the Opera" and "Cats" to musicals such as "Grease," which better connect to the outside world and demonstrate real things happening in everyday life.
Today, we see the American musical as a way to tell the story of others and encourage others. "Dear Evan Hansen" has a pop style telling young adults that they are no longer alone. "Newsies" had a new found musical sense used to demonstrate that younger people can create a movement just as adults can. "Hamilton" played to listeners by its hip hop style, while getting our history across as well.
The American Musical has evolved from a lighthearted, sophisticated sense to a new way to get opinions and lessons across.
