Several of Broadway's longest-running musicals began as modest off-stage productions.
Note
Only the noun can be counted, so this plural belongs to just two of the word's meanings. One is staged or filmed shows built on song and dance. The other is gatherings held for musical entertainment, otherwise called musicales. The adjective (melodious, music-loving, relating to music) never takes an -s, so a phrase like "two musical friends" keeps the plain form whatever the number.
