Revusical.
Notes
-
The relationship between this production and another Razzle Dazzle revusical, first known to have been staged by Paul Stanhope in 1917, is unclear. It is possible that they were either adapted from the same source or that this latter production has been adapted from the earlier work. Le Blanc and Stanhope had previously worked together, and though both had gone their separate ways (running their own variety companies), it is not unreasonable to suspect that that Le Blanc appropriated (with permission or not) the basic idea from Stanhope's revusical.
