All-star casts

Hi,


No. Always no. Five months of ceaseless interrogation and the inevitable negative. So much time spent by day in questioning managers, agents, schools and choruses; by night among the audiences of theatres from all-star casts down to music halls so low that he dreaded to find what he most hoped for. He who had loved her best had tried to find her.

What does 'from all-star casts down to music halls so low' mean?

Thanks

All-star casts are performances with many well-known performers (stars). Music halls were a 'low' form of entertainment, offering vaudeville-- singing & dancing, comedians, novelty acts, etc-- and not considered serious theatre. The character in your excerpt attended the whole range of types of performances.
