Critical examination in audition for theatrical performance (5)
I believe the answer is:
revue
'theatrical performance' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'critical examination in audition' is the wordplay.
'critical examination' becomes 'review' (I've seen this before).
'in audition' shows a homophone (sound like) (audition can mean hearing).
'review' sounds like 'REVUE'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for revue that I've seen before include "Song and dance entertainment" , "Form of light entertainment" , "Theatrical show" , "Evening of songs and sketches" , "Musical show" .)
