I'm working on an argumentative piece of writing and my topic is about people's opinions on musicals being corny vs musicals relating to real-world problems and being an art form.
Thoughts?

You're trying to compare incomparable things: Some musicals ARE corny, some DO relate to real-world problems ---- but what has either of those things to do with it being an art form -- OF COURSE it's an art form, doesn't mean everyone's going to like it.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Do you think Hamilton, Hedwig, Passing Strange, Once, are corny?

Okay, sure musicals are corny but in a good way. the fact that people spend so much of their time as other people singing their hearts out may seem corny to some people. But i LOVE all of those musicals and i love most musicals.

I think the word you're looking for is "Camp"
