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.
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: 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.
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: 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: Fabulous Cast, Choreography, and Music Cons: Any one disturbed by sexual content should NOT see it.
A Friend and I went to see the touring production of
"Cabaret." It was in coordination with the Roundabout theater company
and the SFX theater company, but it was still (except for the actors and seating) the same as the...
Pros: The atmosphere & the performance. Cons: The price of beverages.
As soon as you walk into Club 54 you are a part of a long history of the "in-group" fantasy parties. Set up as a true "cabaret," you're immediately part of the action: performers warming-up on the stage and at various locations...
Pros: Jon Peters, the elderly couple Cons: Lea Thompson
Went to see the touring show in Houston last night. Jon Peters was superb as the Emcee -- by far the highlight of the evening. The shuffling in and out of the orchestra between songs was innovative and well done. The dance scene ("Married")...
Pros: music, cast, story Cons: heavy emphasis on sex and homosexuality
This musical has been resurrected with a new direction. It has lost some of its innocence on the 1960s and is a much more disturbing retelling of Berlin in 1932. The music is still fabulous and the cast energetic. The theatre and the sets fall right...
Pros: Emotional, very resourceful Cons: A bit sexual so I'd be reluctant to take my family to it
I saw Cabaret the winter of 1999 in New York's own Studio 54 and I was mezmerized. I didn't find the musical score all that inspiring, nor interesting though, but I did think everything else was spectacular and sure made up for that. I had excellent...
Pros: everything... the atmosphere, the decadence, the music Cons: none!
The best way to experience Cabaret (the current revival on Broadway) is to sit at the cabaret-style tables at the front of the theatre. My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to get canceled tickets at Studio 54, where we sat at table #144, just three...
Pros: Show starts with you laughing and ends with you speechless........ Cons: Not for children
What's to say? I saw the original movie many years ago. When I heard who was in the lead roles(Neil Patrick Harris and Deborah Gibson), I figured I would go anyway!!! Within 10 seconds of his taking the stage, I forgot that he ever played Doogie...
Pros: entertaining Cons: can be a little much for conservative people
When I first saw John Stamos appear in Cabaret I was a bit surprised. I remember him from the tv sitcom Full House and his character on the show was COMPLETELY different from his role in Cabaret. So added to the entertainment was a feeling of surprise...
Pros: Hilarity, Disparity, Ingenuity, and Musicality all wrapped up in one spectacular box. Cons: Not exactly mother-approved!
We have no troubles here...
Leave your biases at the door, because anyone who sees Cabaret is going to be delightfully assaulted by almost every venue of sexuality, humor, and innuendo... What fun!
Pros: Fun Location Great Play Cons: Not for the conservative theater goer
This is such a well done revival. Great songs, great actors, great set. The play is a funny, naughty, and even at times touching view of life on stage in 1930's Berlin. The fact that it is now playing at Studio 54 only adds to the feeling of debauchery...
Pros: The music and dancing Lives Cons: The sexual lifestyles overplayed
I must of seen the 1970's Movie with my eyes closed because the play was nothing like the movie. I took my two teenage daughters to see the play in San Francisco and I was taken by surprise the sexual twists in the play. I was not prepared to have my...
Wow! was the first reaction that came out of my mouth! I wowed at how much sex there was, but also how good it was! Usually the original B-way cast is better than the ones to come. I'm not saying that the original B-way cast was bad, but I liked this one...
