The Improvised Musical
A full sung show: one suggestion, one story, and five to seven musical numbers — an opening that builds the world, the main character's want song, a duet, a reversal, a finale everyone joins. The story carries the songs, never the other way round: without a clear want, no chorus will save the scene.
🎓 Tips
Assign the roles before you go on: who accompanies, who starts the songs, who ends them. A troupe that has not decided WHO decides to sing spends the evening waiting for someone to dare.
