Jelasin soal Balai musik dong

Balai musik adalah sebuah jenis dari hiburan teatrikal Inggris yang populer dari awal era Victoria pada sekitar tahun 1850 dan berlangsung sampai 1960. Balai tersebut menampilkan pencampuran lagu populer, komedi, bakat khusus, dan hiburan varietas. Istilah tersebut datang dari sebuah jenis teater atau tempat dimana hiburan semacam itu diadakan. Balai musik Inggris mirip dengan vaudeville Amerika, yang menampilkan lagu-lagu dan lawakan-kawakan, sementara di Britania Raya, istilah "vaudeville"' lebih merujuk kepada jenis hiburan kelas buruh yang dijuluki "burlesque" di Amerika.
