extravaganzas
Over-the-top shows
Extravaganzas is the plural of extravaganza, an elaborate and spectacular entertainment or production.
The word suggests lavish excess—expensive sets, large casts, dramatic effects: Broadway extravaganzas, holiday shopping extravaganzas.
The term often carries a note of irony or criticism when applied to events that seem excessive or overproduced: The wedding was a three-day extravaganza.
