Vaudeville

Before class I honestly hadn’t heard of a vaudeville show before. I think it’s interesting that this show seemed to combine everything from freak shows to burlesque acts. What I find especially interesting, however, is that vaudeville shows kind of played off of their audiences so to speak. My understanding is that shows varied based on the social class of the audience, to tailor to different settings, etc. All in all I think vaudeville was an interesting show and am glad to have at least some knowledge on this part of history.
