* Film can zoom in and pan out to control the audience's focus. Theatre controls this with dialogue and blocking (how actors and props are positioned). No less a luminary than Music/StephenSondheim has said that one reason why it's hard to adapt a stage musical to film is that in film a close-up can tell you everything that a song can -- so why bother with the song?

By far the most common perception of a musical is properly termed "musical theater", in which a play is performed with several songs interspersed at major plot points in the story. In the United States, these are most often associated with Broadway and Off-Broadway plays, and can be either original material or adapted from any number of sources (though adaptations are far more common than original musicals; see AllMusicalsAreAdaptations).

* Singing well requires the sort of physical movement and concentration that, on film, looks like [[LargeHam overacting]]. The physical and technological demands of filming a scene also make it hard to get a singing performance that is both good ''and'' well-recorded. The usual solution to this is to pre-record the song and have the actor lip-sync to the song they (or someone else) recorded, but this can result in a performance that doesn't fully match the music.
