| If we consider novellas to be a subset of novels, then we might consider revues to be a subset of musicals. But the converse would not generally be true with novels and novellas. We might consider Breakfast at Tiffany's or A Christmas Carol to be novels, but we wouldn't consider Great Expectations or The Golden Bowl to be novellas. So we might consider As Thousands Cheer or Scrambled Feet or even Side by Side by Sondheim to be musicals, but we wouldn't consider Carousel or even Hello, Dolly! to be revues. There have been shows that have truly straddled the line, for instance, some of Irving Berlin's early shows apparently did. For me Runaways does not straddle the line. |
