Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic title 54th Street Revue is an American variety television program that was broadcast on CBS from May 5, 1949, through March 25, 1950. The program was a "showcase for up-and-coming professionals", originating from a theater on 54th Street in New York City.[1]

Hosts for 54th Street Revue included Jack Sterling, Al Bernie,[2] Billy Vine,[3] and Joey Faye.[4] Regular performers on the program included Bambi Lynn, Annabel Lyons, Joe Silver,[5] Pat Bright, Russell Arms, Marilyn Day, Cliff Tatum, Butch Cavell,[6] Bob Fosse, Mort Marshall, Wynn Murray, and Carl Reiner[1] The regular cast changed frequently as entertainers found other jobs "that were more substantial than employment in early television".[7]

Barry Wood was the executive producer, with Ralph Levy as director. Al Selden and Bill Scudder created original music and lyrics for the show.[1] Writers included Alan Sands, Jess Kaplan,[8] George Axelrod, Allan Sherman, and Max Wilk.[1] Harry Sosnick directed the orchestra.[9] The program initially was on Thursdays from 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern Time. In September 1949 it moved to Fridays from 9 to 10 p.m., ET, and in January 1950 it moved to Saturdays from 8 to 9 p.m. ET.[7]

Although the program was scheduled to end in late November 1949, its time on the air was extended "at least through Dec. 23".[10] In late January 1950, its run was extended again on an alternate-weeks schedule as two advertising agencies showed interest in its "rising ratings and its low budget".[11]

A review in the February 1, 1950, issue of the trade publication Variety noted that the program's pace had "become too even and placid for its own good."[12]
