== Origin == Revues are most properly understood as having amalgamated several theatrical traditions within the corpus of a single entertainment. [[Minstrel show|Minstrelsy]]'s olio section provided a structural map of popular variety presentation, while literary travesties highlighted an audience hunger for satire. Theatrical [[extravaganza]]s, in particular, moving panoramas, demonstrated a vocabulary of the spectacular. [[American burlesque|Burlesque]], itself a bawdy hybrid of various theatrical forms, lent to classic revue an open interest in female sexuality and the masculine gaze.
