Victorian theater was quite diverse. There was the traditional legitimate theater with its classic plays and operas. But there was also a more popular form of entertainment called illegitimate theater. This included melodramas, burlesques, and music halls. Over time, the theater scene changed. Smaller theaters became more common, allowing for more realistic performances. This shift was partly due to the Licensing Act of 1843.
