Crazy Nights Revue is a 1935 Australian stage revue presented by F.W. Thring for Eftee Productions. It featured a predominantly English cast.[1][2] It starred George Wallace.[3][4]
The Weekly Times said it "brings back memories of the music halls of the nineties."[5] The Advocate wrote "If you like revue and don't mind how crazy it is, you can hardly do better."[6] The Herald declared "Mr Thring, to whose enterprise Melbourne already owes much, can no doubt count his courageous experiment a complete success."[7] The Sun called it "a very stimulating tonic".[8] The Age felt "A little Judicious pruning of the show, the length of which errs on the generous side, together with a strengthening of some of the weaker links In the vaudeville, should help to give some of "the crazy gang" a wider opportunity for their ability as entertainers."[9] The Australasian wrote " The word "Crazy" does not begin to de scribe what happened in that theatre on Saturday night. So far, I do notthink we have had anything in Melbourne like it since the Federal Parliament went to Canberra."[10]
