Sheet music

The vocal score of a musical typically does not include the spoken dialogue, except for cues.

A vocal score (or, more properly, piano-vocal score) is a reduction of the full score of a vocal work (e.g., opera, musical, oratorio, cantata, etc.) to show the vocal parts (solo and choral) on their staves and the orchestral parts in a piano reduction (usually for two hands) underneath the vocal parts; the purely orchestral sections of the score are also reduced for piano.

A collection of songs from a given musical is usually printed under the label vocal selections.
