noun

"Musical play" refers to a type of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance. In a musical play, the story is conveyed through both the music and the script, with musical numbers often enhancing or advancing the plot. It differs from a standard play, which typically relies solely on dialogue and acting to tell the story, as music and dance play integral roles in a musical.

Example

1. I saw a musical play called "The Lion King" last weekend.
2. My school is putting on a musical play about a group of animals who learn to work together.
3. I want to be in a musical play when I grow up.
