Cabaret (Broadway)

See it if you love Cabaret. Offered little new over the last revival except casting: MWms was fine, EStone was luminous even if not a great singer.

Don't see it if you want something fresh. Like deja vu. Still, I enjoyed seeing this round (twice!) Sound was too loud, some prime seats had obstructed vw.

Also I'm catching up on reviews of shows I saw pre-Show Score. Cabaret was a solid production then-and-now (I saw it 15 years before). I would have preferred a new approach, but Roundabout wanted to trot out this tried-and-true staging. The show is smart, funny, unsettling, tuneful. A top quality musical.... Read more Read less

Also This great revival was staged like a cabaret. It was an immersive stage, the way the actors and dancers entered and moved along the stage. Alan Cumming is the star of the show, I couldn't stop watching at him. Michelle Williams was also great. All the cast was incredible. It is in my top three plays of my lifetime. The cabaret girls were great: sensual, exciting. Their erotic dancing was hot. The music is incredible. The band and the music was wonderful, Much much better than the film, because the film is too long, depressing and boring. The last scene is a total shock. Unforgettable. A must.... Read more Read less

See it if 87- Emma Stone blew the roof off. 70- Michelle Williams didn't, sadly. Alan Cumming was phenomenal. Kander and Ebb classic; still a favorite

Don't see it if I found myself missing more of the choreography from the 2002 revival. But still worth it. Strong, emotional subject matter, be warned.
