Performances expected by two stars primarily? (5)
I believe the answer is:
duets
'performances' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'expected by two stars primarily?' is the wordplay.
'expected' becomes 'due' (similar in meaning).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'primarily?' indicates taking the first letters (I've seen 'primarily' mean this).
The initial letters of 'two stars' is 'ts'.
'due'+'ts'='DUETS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for duets that I've seen before include "Songs sung by two" , "Works for two" .)
