Pros: everything... the atmosphere, the decadence, the music
Cons: none!
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Show starts with you laughing and ends with you speechless........
Cons: Not for children
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: entertaining
Cons: can be a little much for conservative people
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Songs, Emcee, Cabaret atmosphere, Risqui

Summary: 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 ... read more

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
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Hilarity, Disparity, Ingenuity, and Musicality all wrapped up in one spectacular box.
Cons: Not exactly mother-approved!
Summary: 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!
This show takes place in ... read more

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

Pros: Fun Location Great Play
Cons: Not for the conservative theater goer
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Great music, Great plot, Great acting
Cons: Nothing!
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Great Energy, and Music
Cons: Nudity
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

Pros: Jon Peters, the elderly couple
Cons: Lea Thompson
Summary: 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") ... read more

Pros: Great Concept, great music, Studio 54
Cons: Tired show, average performances
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: A powerful theatrical experience
Cons: Difficult subject matter -- not for everyone
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Emotional, very resourceful
Cons: A bit sexual so I'd be reluctant to take my family to it
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Decent show
Cons: Random plot, not much that's special about it
Summary: 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: Unconventional setting, good songs, great acting
Cons: the seats are uncomfortable, food & drinks are pricey
Summary: 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 ... read more
