Revusical.
Notes
-
Australian Variety records that although the Bridge Theatre season had audiences packed to the doors, and invited 'encouraging applause' for the performers, the revusical was 'rather weak and on the empty side', taken on the whole. Variety's editor, Harry Kitching, proposed that the flow had been broken, 'there being too much talk before getting to business', and thus 'more musical numbers [needed to] be introduced to knock it into shape' (7 February 1917, n. pag.).
