In dance, any sort of dance really, you need to be able to listen to the music and count beats, listen for changes in tempo and mood of the piece and be able to adapt your movements and steps to match the music. You also need to be able to keep your steps in time with the music, this is why its important

Broadway, or musical dance, has fused somewhat into a distinct style.

The overall "broadway dance style", if it had to be categorized, is most heavily focussed on jazz dance. Ballet is rarely used in musicals (The Phantom of the Opera is one exception.)
