Theatre Concert is a type of play which combines Theatre and Concert. The plays take their starting point in a bands discography. Music and acting is then combined without a definite story, but rather each number is portraying a small story. The actors and the band is on the stage at the same time and will interact with each other. The music will often be rewritten while the lyrics will stay mostly the same. The stories are often emphasized by the use of very visual set and costume design.
