Rock Musical
A rock musical is a musical theatre work with rock music. The genre of rock musical may overlap somewhat with album musicals, concept albums and song cycles, as they sometimes tell a story through the rock music, and some album musicals and concept albums become rock musicals.

This production featured one rock and roll number, "The Juvenile Delinquent", performed by fifty-year-old Billy De Wolfe.

The rock musical became an important part of the musical theatre scene in the late 1960s with the hit show ''Hair''. Styled "The American Tribal Love-Rock Mus ...
