Who makes musicals successful?The actors cannot carry the show by
themselves! They need sound to dance to, lights to bring visual effects, sets to create the places they are, and people to come see the show! These jobs are fulfilled through different teams.
The two main groups that aid the show from the beginning to the end, the creative team and the production team.
