Best Answer

Believe it or not, New York. On Broadway.

The "first" musical is considered to be The Black Crookand it was performed in 1866. It opened on September 12 at the 3,200 seat Niblo's Garden on Broadway, New York City. This is the first recorded show to conform to the standards we use to define a book musical, where the songs help drive the story, as opposed to Opera, where the songs stop the action to explore the emotion the character is feeling. This is a large generalization.

Ancient Greece.

2nd answer: Opera was created in 16th-century Italy. There was music played during ancient Greek dramas and comedies, but nothing like the through-sung opera native to Italy.
