Revue/revusical.
Staged as a second half musical revue during Connors and Paul's 1934 Brisbane season, Gay Paree not surprisingly focused on the theme of Paris. It may have also been produced more as a revusical than a revue, especially given the first half of the nightly entertainment, 'Happy Moments,' was billed as vaudeville but may have been produced along the lines of revue (vaudeville was rarely if ever given a production name while this was typically the case with the revue format).
