There are many important parts of a musical. In many ways, it is important to form an emotional connection to the characters- in order to have a WANT, DESIRE, and REASON to feel the emotions. How can you fully explain enjoying the negative emotions- they hurt, but your emotional connection helps. Well, the opening of a musical is the first step of creating this. Overtures don’t count- there is only one exception.
