How much music is in a musical?

by Joanna S. Kao, @joannaskao

How much of a musical is actually filled with music? To begin to answer that question, I saw various musicals and recorded when and how long music was played. Hover over each section to get more detail about what song or speaking scene was being played and its duration.

To avoid giving away plots, I've labeled the speaking sections with just the characters who are in the scenes.

I will be adding more musicals as I get around to seeing them. For more information about this project, check out my Broadway-themed Tumblr blog. If you would like to help contribute to this project, let me know at joannaskao at gmail dot com.
