The evening might best be described as a surreal musical revue with spoken-word interludes and snatches of drama. |
Members of the newly-formed Actors' Community Theatre will perform their revue, The Opening Act, from Thursday to Saturday. |
Her dance revue, Le Jazz Hot, included vernacular forms like the shimmy, black bottom, shorty george and the cakewalk. |
She began her career as a chorus girl in an African-American revue in Philadelphia and also appeared at the Cotton Club in Harlem. |
The musical revue may have a place in the theatre, but it has a far cosier one in the kind of late-night club that has all but disappeared. |
It was a revue all written in no time and the cast was packed with starving talent. |
