ABSTRACT

This article deeply analyzes the influence of American musicals on Chinese musicals in terms of creative concepts, artistic styles, industrial models, and talent cultivation. By sorting out the development trajectories of musicals in both countries and conducting a comparative analysis of typical works and industrial practices, it reveals the opportunities and challenges brought by American musicals to the development of Chinese musicals. Furthermore, it discusses the coping strategies and development directions for Chinese musicals in the process of learning from American musicals, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical references for the continuous progress of Chinese musicals and promote the prosperity and development of the local musical industry.
