What does REVUE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A theatrical show made up of a series of short, loosely connected sketches, songs, and dances, often poking fun at recent events or popular culture.
A revue differs from a conventional musical or play because it has no single continuous plot, instead stringing together comic sketches, musical numbers, and satirical commentary on current affairs. The form flourished in music halls and cabaret theaters, where topical humor could be updated frequently to keep the show fresh. Performers in a revue often play multiple unrelated roles across the separate segments of the evening.
