Cabaret

Pros: Thought-provoking, inventive staging, excellent music
Cons: disturbing

This evening I was fortunate enough to see the touring reincarnation of the show ,Cabaret ,at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale. It was incredibly creative in the new staging and costuming, with a much more...

Pros: Songs, Emcee, Cabaret atmosphere, Risqui
Cons: Some of the closest seats have poor visibility, Main love story seems slightly forced, Risqui

Wow, I’m still in the process of recuperating from this past weekend (Now a full week ago. What can I say? My writing is slowing down in my old age.), which was Gay Pride Weekend in New York City. I had an amazing time! My good friend (and...

Pros: Sexist, chauvinistic, condescending...oh yeah, funny too! I loved it.
Cons: for easily-offended: see Pros

…im Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret! Given four Tony Awards (including Best Musical Revival), given that many of my friends (all who have seen the show) recommended it, and given that it is playing literally across the street from my work, I really had...

Pros: A totally involving theatre experience, full of great moments, both humorous and serious
Cons: Overt sexual scenes, costumes, and themes make it inappropriate for younger audiences

This epinion refers to the Roundabout Theatre production of Cabaret, starring Joely Fisher as Sally Bowles, currently touring the United States.

Pros: music, choreography, interpretation, EVERYTHING
Cons: nothing

My friend and I ventured into Studio 54 wishing we'd be able to sit closer to the stage and the very sexy Alan Cumming, but we took our place among the ranks of the rest of the "poor people" sitting in the very last row of the balcony - on bar...

Pros: deep plot, clever interpretations, good music, great acting
Cons: shocking, almost offending costumes, innuendos (could be considered a 'pro' by some)

That's right. If you expect Les Miz or Phantom, you're definitely in for a surprise.

I haven't seen the original production and when I went to see the show I knew the plot vaguely at best. I have to say that, while the show was - in a word -...

Pros: Unconventional setting, good songs, great acting
Cons: the seats are uncomfortable, food & drinks are pricey

I think the novelty of being in Studio 54, along with the "Cabaret" style seating (bistro tables & chairs) made this show a unique experience.

Why I went: I decided to go to my 6th Broadway show last month. I love the...

Pros: Decent show
Cons: Random plot, not much that's special about it

I went to see Cabaret a few weeks ago, thinking that it would be really good. It was. It was not, however, amazing. The show was entertaining, but it definitely lagged at points, and sort of seemed thrown together and random.

Cabaret is...

Pros: A powerful theatrical experience
Cons: Difficult subject matter -- not for everyone

Don't let this happen to you: I almost missed the experience of seeing the much-talked-about revival of "Cabaret" directed by Sam Mendes. You see, I've seen "Cabaret" before, and it wasn't one of my favorites. Now, it is one of my...

Pros: Wonderful music, cast - thought-provoking and exciting
Cons: Can't really think of any

When you first walk into the new Studio 54, the dim lights, the cocktail tables and the girls walking around selling incredibly expensive bottles of champagne along with the normal jujubeans and Junior Mints all hint that this is not going to be your...

Pros: The musical numbers are great. The acting is new and inventive.
Cons: The plot is a little raunchy.

Cabaret has is an interesting show. A little raunchy yet a classic form of theater. With new and inventive arrangements. Cabaret follows a man who is a writer moving to Berlin and his relationship with Sally Bowels who is an entertainer at the Kit Kat...

Pros: Great Concept, great music, Studio 54
Cons: Tired show, average performances

It's always interesting to see a show on Broadway after it has been running for a long time. I saw CABARET October of '99 when it starred Susan Egan as Sally Bowles and Michael Hall as the Emcee, the pivotal roles in the show. For the most part, the show...

Pros: Music, Girls, Singing, Acting talent
Cons: None.

"Cabaret" is a French word that originally referred to any business serving liquor or some type of booz.

I just got back from Las Vegas. I took my girlfriend there for her 23rd birthday. We stayed at the Paris. Well we really...

Pros: Everything. The plot, the songs, the actors, the jokes, Studio 54 in NYC
Cons: Ends a little abruptly, may be too vulgar for some, not for children/ultra-conservative adults

I saw Cabaret several months ago at Studio 54 in Manhattan. It was a wonderful experience. If you're visiting, I strongly recommend you see this show.

To start, the theater was breathtaking, more beautiful than most other broadway and...

Pros: Great music, Great plot, Great acting
Cons: Nothing!

Cabaret is one of the first Broadway plays I've seen in a while that deserves the title of Broadway!

The setting for the play- Studio 54 fits Cabaret perfectly. The tables, the animal printed seats, the bar seats definitely fits the mood. I...
