There has been a steady decline in musicals being produced, since the 1970’s. The movie Chicago has helped to bring the genre of musicals back into public favor. With the help of the movie, and articles that have been written about the return of the musical, I will convey how this has come to be. I have looked at the history of this genre to see how it has gone down in popularity, and how it has come back. Music has been around for as long as anyone can remember. People have been pairing music and

with, the Seattle production of this operetta hired white actors to play Japanese people. It was entirely comprised of white actors who are transformed into Japanese characters with the help of makeup. Where did all the Asian actors go? What made Gilbert want to utilize white actors?

Japan was not even part of the British politics at that time, yet Japanese
