The show must go on

"The show must go on" is a well-known phrase in show business, meaning that regardless of what happens (such as the lead performer breaking a leg), the show must "still" be put on for the waiting patrons. Theatre veteran Noel Coward queried this cliché in the early 1950s, though, writing a song with the title "Why Must the Show Go On?"
