Fuss made about Broadway star's performance (1,4,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
a song and dance
'star's performance' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'fuss made about broadway' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'fuss' could be 'songanddance' (I have seen 'Unnecessary fuss' mean 'song and dance' so perhaps 'fuss' could also mean 'song and dance') and 'songanddance' is located in the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for a song and dance that I've seen before include "basic musical elements" , "Scene" .)
