Etymology

The term 'revue' originates from the French word 'revue', meaning 'review'. It was first used in the theatre context in the late 19th century to describe a show that provides a commentary on current events, often through satire and humor. Revues gained prominence in Europe and North America, becoming a staple of vaudeville acts and cabaret performances. The format was popular for its ability to blend different performance styles and engage audiences with topical humor, which is still a characteristic feature of modern revues. Over the years, revues have evolved to include various themes and styles, reflecting cultural shifts and audience preferences.
