Probably the most popular form of Broadway musical in the decades between the wars, the revue gave its audiences girls and gags, songs and splendour that this book rollickingly and lovingly recalls. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I was amazed at the aurthors ability to draw me into and make fascinating the shadowy world of the Broadway review. Anyone with even a passing interest in the origins of American popular entertainment should read this fabulous work. I had a mild interest in the subject at best, my knowledge of it being the familiarity of a few names like Eddie Cantor and Fannie Brice. This book really was informative and a fine read.
