뮤지컬에서 편곡에 관한 연구는 극작 및 작곡 분야에 비해 상대적으로 소외되어온 영역이다. 그러나 편곡의 과정 없이 절대 온전한 뮤지컬 음악이 존재할 수 없듯 편곡가는 극작가나 작곡가만큼 막중한 역할을 맡는 주요 창작가이며, 최종적으로 뮤지컬의 완성도를 높이는 데 결정적인 기여를 한다. 권위 있는 토니상 오케스트레이션상 수상작품 중 <스위니토드>(2006), <스프링 어웨이크닝>(2007), <인 더 하이츠>(2008)의 수록곡을 바탕으로 기악 편곡의 특징을 악기 편성, 악기 배합과 배치, 대선율 삽입으로 나누어 분석함으로써 극작 및 작곡가의 의도에 부합하는 편곡가의 영민한 오케스트레이션 테크닉과 함께 편곡가의 새로운 상상력과 창의력을 발견할 수 있다.

The main purpose of (the) performing arts is to efficiently communicate the themes and meanings which performances contain under limited time and place to the audience. Stage design should visually express play writer's scripts and director's interpretations of works, amid limitations. Although it is mostly designed metaphorically, in many cases, it is used only as a tool describing the background of performances but fails to effectively convey the true message of scenes to spectators. On the other hand, Bob Crowley has been recognized for his own design presentation skills to win 'Best Scenic Design of a Musical' of Tony Awards for six times and still exerts great influence on the musical and performing arts fields as a set designer. This study analyzes his reading of scripts and visual metaphor expressions, focusing on the musical, 'Aida' where the skills are mostly notable. To that end, we studied the concept of stage arts and theory of visual metaphoric expression to derive the features of his own technique in visual metaphor. Then, the features were applied to each scene of 'Aida' to see how they are displayed on stage. The result shows that Bob Crowley not only describes the background on stage, but also visualizes characters' personality and emotions in scenes. Such method of his expression is a proof to enhanced performance level by maximizing the atmosphere. Considering that a stage design should be based on the capacity of a designer to reinterpret the space with renewed viewpoints, visual metaphoric expression can serve as an effective tool to deliver clear messages to the audience under limited time and space, which is open to various methods of expressions.
