Explanation:
Vodevil (Vaudeville, varietés, music hall): “espectáculo ligero, a veces sin trama única, que consta de danza, canto y escenas cómicas breves, puede incluir acrobacias y números instrumentales”. Definición tomada del “Glosario de términos del arte teatral”, de Ruiz Lugo y Ariel Contreras.
