"The Black Crook" is considered to be the first musical. It is based on the book by Charles M. Barras and first opened on 12th September 1866.
The leader of the orchestra, known as the concertmaster, is typically located at the front left side of the orchestra, near the first violins. This musician plays a crucial role in tuning the ensemble before performances and often takes the lead in musical interpretation. The concertmaster also serves as a liaison between the conductor and the orchestra members.
Sitzprobe (German) is a term used in opera and musical theatre to describe a seated rehearsal where the singers sing with the orchestra, focusing attention on integrating the two groups.

Lloyd Richards is the guy who did it. He was the first black director on stage in the late 1950's . Hope that helped :)
