What was the first Broadway musical or show ever made?

Well, the very first thing that could be called a musical by our definition today was "The Black Crook" in 1866. It was created when a dance house burned down, and a troupe of actors offered the stranded dancers a place in their show. However, in terms of Broadway style, the very first books musical (IE, musical where the music and the plot intertwine) was Showboat, in 1922. It starred the amazing Paul Robeson, and was very ahead of it's time in that it readily addressed many issues of racial discrimination.
