No, these are absolutely not musicals! Gig theatre may involve some singing or it may be spoken word, or it may be one of the many other msuic genres, but it doesn’t make it a musical. Ok, it’s a fine line at times!

Generally gig theatre a hybrid performance style that blends live music and storytelling in a theatrical setting. It’s oten characterised by a band being a central part of the narrative, often interacting with the audience and using music to drive the story forward.
