Nondramatic Performance
A nondramatic performance is one in which a song is not woven into and does not carry forward a plot or story and is not rendered with costumes, scenery, or visual representations from the musical play from which the song was taken. A dramatic performance, by contrast, is one in which a song is woven into and carries forward a plot or story, or is rendered with costumes, scenery, or visual representations from the musical play from which the song was taken. See Al Kohn & Bob Kohn, Kohn On Music Licensing. 1324-25 (Aspen Law & Business 4th ed. 2010).
