Talk:Burlesque (genre)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Someone threw this page together, although I am not sure what it adds to the Travesty article. Also, it seems to miss some of the good information in the Burlesque article about the history of Burlesque. -- Ssilvers 17:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, someone with more time than me should spend some real time on either fleshing (pun intended) this out or combining the two pages in a way that makes sense. Just going through all the links that inappropriately point to the other article is more work than I can handle. I'd be careful not to conflate "travesty" and "burlesque" though. In literary circles, the two are often used with very dissimilar meanings. 67.103.5.26 22:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

And what about Burlesque/Burleske as a musical genre? Bach, Telemann, Richard Strauss, etc. all wrote pieces that they characterized or actually called "burlesques"... 204.152.13.192 18:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd say those burlesques are far more similar to literary burlesque than modern burlesque shows. That's just one man's opinion, though. 67.103.5.26 21:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Any justification for this as a separate article?

We have Burlesque and Burlesque (genre). Is there really any justification for having them as separate articles? -- Kleinzach 23:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
