==Scope==
;Inclusions
Any and all articles pertaining to [[Musical theatre]] on Wikipedia including, but not limited to:
*[[musicals]] (including [[revue]]s and [[Victorian burlesques]], but excluding [[musical film]]s)
*[[composer]]s, [[lyricist]]s and [[libretto|librettists]]
*[[theatre direction|directors]] and [[choreographer]]s
*[[theatrical producer|producers]]
*[[actor|performers]]
*[[genres]] ([[rock musical]], [[Edwardian Musical Comedy|Edwardian musicals]], etc.)
*songs from musicals and cast albums

;Exclusions
Articles pertaining to:
*[[theater (structure)|theatres]], ie venues - these form part of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Theatre|WikiProject Theatre]]
*[[musical film]]s – these are covered by the very large and active [[WP:FILM]] project.
*[[operetta | operettas]] - these form part of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera|WikiProject Opera]], although if it is a grey area, there is nothing wrong with categorizing the work in both places.

*[[Gilbert and Sullivan]] - these are covered by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Gilbert and Sullivan|WikiProject Gilbert and Sullivan]]
