"I loved the story which was in reality tragic and sad. I also thought Adam Lambert was excellent as well as background actors and actresses. They were talented and very funny as well as engaging with the audience. "

Great but left confused
"GREAT ACTING. I was left in the end psychologically unsatisfied and could see some others in the theater feeling the same… after reading someones constructive criticisms about the show… they were explaining how raw and deeper the original show was… Now I understand why I didn’t totally “get it”. Maybe they softened the edges on some of the gritty stuff that we needed to truly understand the themes better.
But the cast was fantastic and they deserve all the accolades!"

Great show for adults only
"Loved the actors. Adam lambert was amazing. The sexuality of the show was a little out there for children. Would not recommend for children due to this. For adults - it was great"

Family christmas
"Performers were great and venue was very fun. I wish I had looked at the side we were sitting more closely. The back side of the stage, even at the tables are do not have the best view of the performers. We were looking at the backs of the main performers for more than half of the show. Still good but wish I had selected the other side. "

An interesting piece of theatre with strong talents.
"As a big theater fan, I truly enjoyed the theatrical aspects of the show. Adam Lambert was amazing the way that they transformed the theater was fantastic and I really did enjoy the show overall. I don’t know that I would recommend this is somebody who is in a big theater fan. It is long, it’s pretty dark and doesn’t flow in the traditional sense. I enjoyed it, but don’t need to rave for people to see it."

Adam Lambert shines in cabaret!
"The best thing about the Cabaret revival is Adam Lambert at der helm! Ensemble is terrific, staging/environment engaging and a delight to senses. The show captures the 1930s yet brings its ominous message forward to now. We loved the in the round approach and some very clever stage directions plus the great big numbers loved from the original. Some mis casting and dreadful lack of chemistry between Sally and her beau. Some incredibly timely themes. But Lambert is the Jewel in the crown. I could watch him read green eggs and ham and I'd be thrilled. The intimacy of the theater terrificly staged."

Good show, inappropriate for kids
"On the talent side, this show is outstanding! Brilliant, captivating performances. But be prepared for very inappropriate dancing, language, sexual references, and use of props. This is definitely not a show for kids. "

Cabaret with Adam Lamber and Auli'i Cravalho
"Adam Lambert was absolutely amazing. His voice, as expected, was phenomenal, and his acting was just as impressive. He wasn’t just performing; he was living the role! Compared to the rest of the cast, he truly stole the show. Every moment he was on stage, we were both completely captivated and found ourselves wishing he had been there for every single scene.
Auli'i Cravalho was also amazing, a true powerhouse. But in our opinion, the rest of the cast didn’t quite measure up, especially in terms of singing. Their performances felt somewhat amateurish by comparison.
The Cabaret dancers started off in unique and revealing costumes, some of them were truly amazing, though not all. As the play progressed, and Nazism began to take hold in Germany, the Cabaret’s performances gradually became more aligned with the oppressive culture of the time.
We would have loved to see even more of Adam's incredible talents showcased. He was simply unbelievable."

Uncertain
"While I respect and admire the immense talent displayed, I left with lots of questions and hated the ending. Not familiar with the story, but maybe rounding things out a bit more would help: lots of loose ends. Hated that Adam wasn't there. Thanks"

Overall a hit
"We came away from this performance feeling that we’d been entertained. Adam Lambert as the emcee did not disappoint. We felt that the lead playing Sally Bowles—while she had a fine voice and certainly worked hard in the role—unfortunately could not quite fill the massive shoes left by Liza Minelli, although perhaps this is an unfair comparison. I also wished the costumes had been a bit splashier and more evocative of pre-war Berlin. Still, this was worth the trip and we are glad we went."

A complex stories musical
"I wanted to love this show but it was hard to follow and slow at times. I was hoping the singing and dancing would have kept my attention as well but it fell a little short for me. My guest loved it."

Engaging and Bright but Not the Traditional Show
"The atmosphere of the show itself is more like a circus than the grungy Cabaret nightclub long-time fans are familiar with. Knowing the background of the show and source material I found the new interpretation lacking and the costumes took me out of the time period and were off putting. That being said the cast was excellent and the theater is beautiful. "

An Adaptation of Cabaret
"Loved the nightclub atmosphere, thrilled to see Eddie and Bebe—their performances were superb! The first ten minutes was the best part. A few head scratches were the Emcee’s clothing, a rotating stage throughout (in 1931?) removed the “stage” quite necessary when depicting a cabaret, an unseen band and I’m always disappointed when there is a preachy moment pandering to the audience for applause; the people that need preaching aren’t buying these tickets. Lastly, of the many times I’ve seen Cabaret, this one more closely resembles my old high school’s performance. "

Just cause you can, doesn’t mean you should
"The performers were great. The scenic design and costuming were excellent.
However, the whole thing was doing too much. Which you might think is obviously the point of the show, right? The sparkling escape of the Cabaret versus the gritty reality of life. But just because you have Broadway level money, doesn’t mean you have to flex it the WHOLE time. The point of Cabaret is the story of it and the lesson to be learned, one that is becoming increasingly applicable in today’s political environment. The artistic direction distracted from the gut punch the final scene should be."

Life is Not Beautiful Here
"History has the propensity to repeat itself. Unless we heed the warnings.
Kudos to the crew who transformed the August Wilson Theatre into The Kit Kat Club in 1943 Berlin. The set is hauntingly beautiful. And there is nothing like theatre in the round to achieve a global audience impact. If you see this show, definitely get there one hour early to take in the dancing, Klezmer-like music, and entertainment that precedes this show. It is not an easy task to ace a Broadway re-make, but this show succeeds in doing so on so many levels. Again, this subject matter is not for the faint hearted as this show unearths current sentiments of White Supremacy on the cusp of America’s efforts to preserve the Rule of Law and to salvage our Democracy.
Gayle Rankin: You Rock. Omg. When this gifted actor took the spotlight to belt out “When I go, I am going like Elsie” and “Life is a Cabaret,” my body was literally covered in goosebumps. It was a quintessential moment in theatre history as is when Herr Schultz, when wished “Mazel Tov” in leaving town after his girlfriend (BeBe Neuwirth) refused to marry him because he was a Jew, said: “We all need Mazel right now.” His comment took the breath away of everyone in that audience.
While we did not get the opportunity to see Eddie Redmayne in his lead role as Emcee, we didn’t really miss him. Stand-by David Merino aced the part and deserves accolades for his talents on the stage.
This production is clearly NOT simply a remake of the Joel Grey and Liza Minelli hit of years gone by. This is a testament and testimony to the potential impact of current events on the rest of our lives. This is a show that remains current, fresh, and, unfortunately, painfully relevant in 2024. It’s fabulous. It’s riveting. It’s moving. And, as it should, it invokes a sense of fear and trepidation as we move closer to the November election.
