Uncle Tom's Cabin / Uncle Tom Shows ...
Tom Shows ... were stage plays and musicals based on the 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. The novel depicts the harsh reality of slavery. Thanks to the weak copyright laws at the time, a number of plays based on the novel were staged.
Even though Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century, far more Americans of that time saw the story in a stage play or musical than read the book. Some of these shows were essentially minstrel shows, which utilized caricatures and stereotypes of black people. "Tom shows" were popular in the United States from the 1850s through the early 1900s.  All "Tom shows" appear to have incorporated elements of melodrama and blackface minstrelsy.
Uncle Tom's Cabin performances as Vaudeville:
The "simple, happy darkie" was a well-established 19th century cultural and racial stereotype that was embedded in, and projected by, the many devolved stage versions of the Uncle Tom's Cabin play and the many vaudevillian traveling "Tom Shows." Not only did performers dance while waiting to be auctioned off as slaves, they also danced while waiting for the riverboat to come in and, in one scene, entitled "Tom and Eva in the Garden," where an entirely gratuitous cakewalk-type sequence is performed before the story action of the play picks up again.
Many Uncle Tom performances were basically performed as Vaudeville
shows from the 1880's onward.
A typical vaudeville performance is made up of a series of separate, unrelated acts grouped together on a common bill.
Types of acts have included popular and classical musicians, singers, dancers, comedians, trained animals, magicians, female and male impersonators, acrobats, illustrated songs, jugglers, one-act plays or scenes from plays, athletes, lecturing celebrities, minstrels, and movies. A vaudeville performer is often referred to as a "vaudevillian".
Vaudeville developed from many sources, including the risque concert saloon, minstrelsy, freak shows, dime museums, and literary American burlesque. Called "the heart of American show business", vaudeville was one of the most popular types of entertainment in North America for several decades.  (from Wikipedia)
