West End theatres used to run revues or present speciality acts like an American singer surrounded by dancers and back-up acts. |
Do not look here for wit, satire, or dazzling invention, in which the old-time revues abounded. |
Never having seen this Russian clown-show before, I was also struck by how much it resembled the revues of my youth. |
Concert parties at the time improvised with available talent and material to provide variety revues involving light-hearted music and comedy. |
Adding drama to the downtown scene are the melodramas and vaudeville revues presented at the Gaslighter Theater. |
Also tomorrow night, Danny Moss and Roy Williams, who draw rave revues and full houses around the world, come to the Shire Hall, Howden. |
