Overview of Wiki?

I am a little confused... is the wiki the website we made using the information from these research blogs?

Oh well, assuming it is and I am very much pained if it is not:
It can be found here in all of it's glory (glory what glory, pfft). It is basically a terribly disorganized (the editor-thing would not cooperate with me) summarization of my musings thus far on musical theatre (and apparently normal theatre too). It does have additions of things not expounded upon in this blog because they were found on Wikipedia, and pictures.
And that's kinda it.
Oh, and the information was organized and rearranged. Ish.

A summary of initial findings through research? I am easily distracted. No, just kidding, in actuality I have found that a musical differs from a play in that it is driven by song, rather than spoken dialogue, which helps to add to the emotional appeal and fun. It can be silly or serious, be there for the pure joy of getting swept up in a life that is not your own, or hold the underlying tones reminding the audience of serious issues. Each musical is a different piece of art with only the same underlying components, and like any art form, it would take more than a bit of research to understand everything that goes on in it. To truly understand the dedication that goes into a musical, I would probably have to participate in some form, which admittedly, is most likely not going to happen, but I have achieved a respect and understanding, I think, for this.
