Vaudeville History and The Tomato Show Concept

John C. Dvorak provides a brief history of 19th-century theater, vaudeville, and burlesque, noting that audiences used to throw rotten produce at poor performers. This inspires a pitch for a new Mevio show called "The Tomato Show," where the audience is permitted to throw a limited amount of rotten eggs and cabbages at acts they dislike.
