American Musical Theater
The American musical theater is perhaps the only major American musical form that doesn't have a strong southern connection, though it is influenced by jazz. It is the creation of the Broadway theater tradition in New York City and the vast Hollywood musical extravaganza. Some well-loved musicals that have become part of the American culture are Guys and Dolls, The Sound of Music, The King and I, On the Town, Annie, Anything Goes, Porgy and Bess, Of Thee I Sing, Brigadoon, Bye Bye Birdie, Cabaret, A Chorus Line, Camelot, Fiddler on the Roof, Damn Yankees, 42nd Street, Gigi, Hair, Grease, Gypsy, The Jazz Singer, Man of La Mancha, My Fair Lady, Peter Pan, Pal Joey, Funny Girl, and The Music Man.
