Why do some shows have "...The Musical" in the title of their name in their official posters and marketing, while some don't? Is there a standard or protocol that dictates it, or is it just a whim of the producer and/or creative team and what they feel like? AVENUE Q, CHICAGO, and KINKY BOOTS are some that have The Musical, while HAIRSPRAY and THE BOOK OF MORMON are just that and no subtitle.
Then there's HAMILTON: An American Musical, PIPPIN: The Broadway Musical, and COME FROM AWAY: A New Musical.
Why the differences for the same type of product?
