Is there a pattern for songs in musicals??
Well the musical songs are like about the story, while the modern ones are just random. Maybe that they are sung by dancing and stuff? There is not much difference, they are both songs and all, they are just about different topics I guess...
there is no pattern, but songs in musicals seem to be less about love and relationships and tend to be about something different like the weather etc. Its not radio music, its performed to represent a story.
