What is a "revival"?

A revival is a new production or performance of an old play, musical, or other artistic work that has not been presented for a significant period of time. The aim of a revival is to reintroduce the work to audiences, often with updated interpretations or modern touches while preserving its original essence. This can involve bringing back classic theatrical productions, re-staging historical performances, or performing older works that have fallen out of the spotlight. Revivals offer a chance to revisit and celebrate significant works from the past and can introduce them to new audiences.
