I would enjoy every type of media more if the humans had ears and tails! <3

Musicals are plays with songs thrown in to express strong emotions or really important plot points. If it's all singing, then it's an opera. Which is technically a musical, I guess?

Classic musicals I think you've heard of: The Sound of Music, The King and I, anything by Rogers & Hammerstein.

Operas include things like: Phantom and Les Miserables.

Or at least I'd always thought they were operas! I'm by no means a musician or expert!
