It is so interesting to me to see how far back the connection between music and theatre goes. I may be wrong, but I can’t  think of any point in time where  theater ever really existed without music. We see this  with the ancient forms of theatre, with examples such as the greek chorus and the music in the Kathakali. In the first video, you can clearly see how the music cues each detailed movement; be it a hand gesture, change in facial expression, or slight movement over all and Im sure for anyone who understand the language, that the lyrics provide even more depth to the story. The concentration and connection that you see between the actors and musicians (compared to today’s seperation of them by “the pit”) makes the music almost like a second character on stage.
