A megamusical is an epic, dramatic show featuring recurring melodies in a sung-through score; impressive sets; and grand ideas. This is a study of some of the popular megamusicals. It discusses the history of the megamusical, examining both its internal, performative qualities and its external, market reception to reveal why it is so popular.
