Talk:On with the Dance (musical)

Present or past tense

"... is a revue..." worries me. I'm all for referring to plays and musicals in the present tense, but I think revues - never revived as a whole entity - would be better referred to as "...was a revue..." Happy to debate or be overruled by the authorities. Tim riley (talk) 18:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Musical theatre project says "is". Is it impossible that anyone could ever perform it again? Does it exist in written form? If the answer to both of these is "no", then I suppose we could say "was", but the normal case should be: It "is" a revue that "was" written and first performed by Coward.... I'm leaving in a couple of hours.... -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:03, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

BTW, was there a theme or plot to the revue? That should be described. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:05, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Ex cathedra! I shall comply. Have a good weekend. Tim riley (talk) 19:14, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Almost 15 years later, I wouldn't mind if you prefer "was", although I don't think it matters much unless the revue is capable of being revived, which seems unlikely. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:08, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Musical numbers

Do M&M say who sang each song? -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:08, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
