The Milton Berle Show
Salutes New York Theater Season Opening
by
The Milton Berle Show is a variety comedy program built around Milton Berle, whose energetic, fast-moving style made him a prominent radio and television entertainer. The title identifies this broadcast as a salute to the opening of New York’s theater season, giving the program a theatrical occasion for its comedy and entertainment.
Berle’s radio variety format centers on his comic performance, with the show offering a mix of humor and entertainment rather than a single continuous dramatic story. Its theater-season theme places the broadcast in the lively world of stage entertainment and New York show business.
The appeal is Berle’s exuberant comic presence and the variety-show atmosphere: a spirited showcase shaped by performance, topical occasion, and the pleasures of theatrical comedy.
