Musicals weren't invented until the 20th century, but what I think is meant here is 'what was the most prominent piece of music of the baroque period?'

Well, to answer this, I would say it was Handel's Messiah. This was an Oratorio (a religious piece of music) which was written in 1741 by Handel. It became incredibly popular, and still is today, being performed around the world at Easter. I'm sure you are aware of the Hallelujah chorus.
