Cabaret

CabaretT838352533
Based on the play by John van Druten and the original stories by Christopher Isherwood. Set in late thirties Berlin. Cabaret first came to the stage in New York in 1966 and became a hit film with Liza Minnelli and Michael York in 1972. The story tells of American cabaret singer Sally Bowles, impoverished writer Cliff Bradshaw and their friends Frauline Schneider and Herr Schultz along with a host of divinely decadent characters whose lives are described by the Emcee. Their dreams for the future are finally shattered as their lives are inexorably drawn towards the horrors of World War II.
Book by Joe Masteroff
Music John Kander

User Review: 15Jul02: This is an excellent piece and well suited to the space at the Union Theatre. Although there were some problems with tuning in the band and some of the singing was not as strong as it could have been, overall this is a very worthwhile production. Stefanie Moore makes a softer, more chic Sally Bowles than is usually seen and acts the role with great depth; she is ablely supported be Glynne Steele who manages to create a credulous, engaging Cliff. The Emcee is well-sung and played effectively with a dark edge by Mark Eddison. The Kit Kat boys and girls are nicely varied in appearance, all of them wearing their sexuality on their sleeves; there is a rough, slightly untidy edge to the dance and singing in the club which fits nicely with the seedy decadence of the club.
