文本组成：
音乐剧的文本由以下几个部份组成：音乐的部份称为乐谱（score）、歌唱的字句称为歌词（lyrics）、对白的字句称为剧本（book/script）。有时音乐剧也会沿用歌剧里面的称谓，将歌词和剧本统称为曲本（libretto）。
音乐剧的长度并没有固定标准，但大多数音乐剧的长度都介乎两小时至三小时之间。通常分为两幕，间以中场休息。如果将歌曲的重复和背景音乐计算在内，一出完整的音乐剧通常包含二十至三十首曲。
音乐剧擅于以音乐和舞蹈表达人物的情感、故事的发展和戏剧的冲突，有时语言无法表达的强烈情感，可以利用音乐和舞蹈表达。在戏剧表达的形式上，音乐剧是属于表现主义的。在一首曲之中，时空可以被压缩或放大，例如男女主角可以在一首歌曲的过程之中由相识变成堕入爱河，这是一般写实主义的戏剧中不容许的。
