Representatives of black musicals are:

Broadway musicals. Just like the relationship between "Hollywood" and American movies, when people mention "Broadway", they will naturally think of American dramas. "Broadway" is the name of a street in Manhattan, New York City. The middle section of this street has always been the center of commercial theatrical entertainment in the United States, so "Broadway" has become synonymous with American theatrical activities. Broadway once had a very glorious history, which is closely related to the history of American commercial musicals. Broadway Musicals (BroadwayMusicals) were formerly black entertainment performances, burlesques, vaudevilles, etc., which are mostly influenced by jazz and swing music, and their dance has an original Broadway style.

2. Black musicals. The expression method of musicals has shifted from being mainly European to being mainly American, because of the popularity of black jazz, soul music, troubadour and sad blues. Later swing music also had a strong black musical background. Famous black musicals include "Show Boat", "Porgy and Bess", "Sky Cabin", "The Women of St. Louis", "Flower Room" (1954), "Jamaica" and so on.

3. London West End musical.

London's West End musicals are more influenced by opera and operetta. The development of British musicals has rarely made particularly outstanding improvements in dance. The art form here combines the traditions of opera, operetta and musical comedy with jazz, tap dance and ballet to a certain extent.
