"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."

"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. "

"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."

"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. "
