In evangelical parlance, it can mean a "camp meeting" - a nightly series of services. In history, it has meant a mass outbreak of belief, mass conversions of non-believers or Christians whose faith was lukewarm. Often the effect dissipates after a while. Current ones in Toronto and Pensacola have gained fame.

In theatre, it's a new production of a classic work - Death of a Salesman on Broadway, for instance.

In pop culture, a retro thing, e.g. a glam revival.
