A clown's short interlude played during breaks between acts.
Musical term: to repeat, in whole or in part, a song which has already been sung in the show.
A repetition of a song sung earlier in a musical. In Annie, "Tomorrow" is reprised twice. In Mack & Mabel, "I Won't Send Roses" is sung by Robert Preston and then, with different lyrics, by Bernadette Peters; Peters's version is considered a reprise. Although some shows just reprise a song because it's a hit song, a reprise done intelligently can change the meaning of the lyrics. For example, in Nine, "Not Since Chaplin" is first sung by adoring fans as a straightforward way to praise film director Guido Contini's importance. Much later, with his world collapsing around him, Contini bitterly reprises the opening words of the song, turning them into irony.
Reprise is the last track from The Verve's second album, A Northern Soul. It is not so much a song as it is the band jamming together with Nick Mc Cabe's guitar the lead melody (like Brainstorm Interlude). Richard Ashcroft's contributions are some non- lyrical vocals at the beginning of the song.
Reprise is the third album by British tenor Russell Watson released in 2003.
