Cabaret, Broadway revival (2002)

Cast: Raul Esparza (Emcee), Molly Ringwald (Sally Bowles), many other talented performers

I hadn't seen Cabaret in years and my boyfriend had never seen it, so I was really excited about seeing this revival. I was also interested in getting to hear Molly Ringwald sing. She's great!

I wish I had gotten to see Alan Cumming (one of my favorites) in this roll, but Raul Esparza is absolutely amazing as the Emcee and I can't imagine anyone (even Alan Cumming) doing a better job. Of course, the one thing that's always bothered me about Cabaret is that it started the whole M. C. to Emcee problem... Took the Master of Ceremonies out of the M. C., but other than that it's a great musical.

Of course, due to the subject matter, it is not a happy show, but this revival was very well done. The music is great and the cast is amazing.

Grade: B+
