| | Music hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The heyday of music hall lasted from the 1850s to the Second World War, when other forms of popular music evolved and music hall began to be replaced by films as the most popular form of entertainment. |
| | British music hall was similar to American vaudeville, featuring rousing songs and comic acts, while in the United Kingdom the term vaudeville referred to more lowbrow entertainment that would have been termed burlesque in the United States. |
| | As Music Hall grew in popularity and respectability, the original arrangement of a large hall with tables at which drink was served, changed to that of a drink-free auditorium. |
