Abstract

Through the analysis of the market data of Chinese musicals from 2014 to 2021, it can be found that the Chinese musicals market is constantly improving in terms of performances and box office revenue, and the market potential is huge. Therefore, this study starts from the current situation of the development of Chinese musicals and adopts the main research methods of literature research and case analysis. The purpose of the research is to study the main problems in the current situation, and to demonstrate the importance of choreography talent training in the development of Chinese musicals at this stage. Through the research on the development of musicals in Europe and the United States and the analysis of representative works, the results of this research are as follows. First, the prominent problems in the development status of Chinese original musicals are the imperfect industrial chain and insufficient training of professional talents. Second, it is very necessary to train specialized talents in the choreography of Chinese musicals. The main reason is that the dances in musicals are different from individual dance works, and have the value of interpreting the script and strengthening the musical expression.
