How can musicals be divided into realistic and formalistic types? Give an example of each

What will be an ideal response?

Realistic musicals are generally backstage stories, in which the production
numbers are presented as dramatically plausible. An example would be A Star Is
Born. Formalist musicals make no pretense at realism. Characters burst out in song
and dance in the middle of a scene without easing into the number with a plausible
pretext. An example would be Meet Me in St. Louis.
