The Show Must Go On (English saying) "The show must go on" is a phrase in show business, meaning that regardless of what happens, whatever show has been planned still has to be performed for the waiting audience.

The saying and principle are traditional in the theatre, but they both originated in the 19th century with circuses.

In later years, the phrase was more broadly applied to the hotel business[3] and show business in general.[4] Eventually, the phrase was used to convey the idea that an event or activity must continue even if there are problems or difficulties, with or without regard to being actually connected to show business.[5] In England, a fuller phrase is often used, rather than it's abbreviation: "The show must go on, otherwise we'll have to give them their money back". An aside to the insincerity but reality of show business.
