The History of Revue

Revue was launched in 1988 as the The Music Revue, an alternative, black and white newspaper focused on the local music scene. Over the decades, we’ve transformed into a comprehensive guide to things to do, see, hear and taste in West Michigan. And it’s even printed in color! Since then, we’ve launched Best of the West (a massively popular annual readers’ choice survey), our weekly eNewsletter and Revue Membership, and added consistent arts coverage and critical reviews (the only publication in town to do so) to our content. Today, nearly 40 years later, Revue reaches 55,000+ readers passionate about what’s going on in town.
