Musicals have been an uplifting form of entertainment whether it is through song, dance or drama. The strong conventions of them are the dichotomies that run through each of the musicals and create the conflict within the storyline, storylines which also have serious underlying issues beneath the bright and breezy world that is mostly always portrayed within the Musical Film / Theatre world. The lyrics and style of the dances reflect the characters feelings and help the audience break away from the drama and think about the character and the message they are bringing across in the performance. By using issues that are something of a moral panic when the musical is created gives people a release from day to day life and allows them to transfer in to the world of musicals, where anything is possible.
