A Rusical Challenge is a type of Maxi Challenge that tests the contestants' performance skills through singing, acting and dancing on the mainstage in a musical. Rusicals are typically parodies of existing musicals or follow the stories of celebrities through different stages of their career.
Although the contestants may be asked to record or sing their sections of the Rusical live, this challenge is not to be confused with the Girl Group Challenge or Singing Challenge.
