The show was entertaining, there were some good performers, but this was definately not Broadway. The theater was nice and the seats were good.
Great show! The actress who played Sally Bowles was superlative. The MC was also excellent. Well produced, staged, nice venue.
The original Broadway production of Cabaret in 1966 was nominated for eleven Tony awards and garnered eight wins. The 1972 motion picture version, directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse and starring Liza Minnelli, was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won eight. In 1998, the Broadway revival starring Alan Cumming and Natasha Richardson was nominated for another 10 Tony awards.
Music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb (Chicago, Zorba, Woman of the Year, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Steel Pier and Curtains, and the movies "Funny Lady" and "New York, New York.")
Book by Joe Masteroff
Based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood
Directed by Broadway legend and television star Jonelle Allen (Hair, George M!, Two Gentlemen of Verona; Grace on "Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman")
Starring Juliet Fischer-Schulein (Broadway and touring companies of Chicago, Kiss Me Kate, On the Town, A Christmas Carol; PBS version of Crazy for You; Radio City Music Hall Rockette; “Cassie” in Gallimaufry’s production of A Chorus Line) and Steve Josephson (25 years performing internationally in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, Mexico City and Edinburgh, Scotland; “Zach” in Gallimaufry’s production of A Chorus Line)
Director Allen notes: “This isn’t going to look like any production of Cabaret that people would have seen--not the original Broadway, not the movie and not the recent revival. The Emcee is a bit of a ringmaster in a 1920s flashy, underground Berlin 'leather fetish' bar. It’s great!”
