Concept musical Concept musicals were first introduced in the 1940s, though two shows compete for the title of 'first concept musical:' "Allegro" and "Love Life". The form began to flourish in the late 1960s, with the advent and subsequent popularity of "Man of La Mancha", "Cabaret", and "Hair". Stephen Sondheim, the most prolific author of concept musicals, created "Company" in 1970, bringing the genre to the forefront of the commercial realm. Director-choreographer Bob Fosse and producer-director Harold Prince were equally instrumental in making defining contributions to the concept musical. Modern examples of the concept musical include "Assassins" and "Avenue Q". Shows ranging from "Fiddler on the Roof" to "Sweeney Todd" have been argued as being concept musicals, though there is little critical agreement.
