Preferred term

musical theater and war  

Definition

  • Although musical theater is usually associated with toe-tapping smiles and dancing girls, it also has dealt at times with America's wars. Some such shows were too grating on the sensibilities of American audiences and never made it to Broadway or achieved lasting popularity.
