This production isn't the Cabaret
that was a hit in 1967. Nor is it the Cabaret of Liza
Minnelli's 1972 starring film role. Nor the 1980s revival that
pushed Joel Grey into an expanded headliner role. This Cabaret
is darker, more sinister, as made apparent by the emcee's
S&M-styled costume. The story, set in a decadent club in a
decadent 1930s Berlin, involves an American writer who is drawn to
the people of the Kit Kat Club, especially its one-time star Sally
Bowles. The emcee acts as an observer, a commentator on the changing
times and the stresses put on people and relationships. This revival
has shown surprisingly strong legs, drawing large audiences for the
better part of four years. Maybe it's the songs, from the first
enticing Wilkommen the show includes a wistful Maybe This
Time, a hopeful and strong Tomorrow Belongs to Me and, of
course, the ever-popular Cabaret
Notes The original
production of Cabaret opened November 20, 1966, at the Broadhurst
Theater. Jill Haworth and Joel Grey starred, along with Jack
Gilford, Lotte Lenya, Bert Convy and Peg Murray |
