I loved her in this role, can’t wait to see what she brings to Sally Bowles. Especially excited to see how well she works in the immersive atmosphere. Aurora, if you happen to have a clip Jessie Buckley performing the title number “cabaret” I would love to see it. I think Jessie was just sublime as Sally when she did her run in London.
I saw her with Eddie Redmayne in NYC for Cabaret. Her Sally is raw, sad, desperate, angry, and defiant, and in short, you couldn’t look away and you also couldn’t look directly at her because her presence was so powerful.
She's going to be a great Sally, I never understood why Peg Murray won the Tony instead of Lotte Lenya in the original Broadway run because this isn't on the cast recording. But for a character that is only on stage for a small time you get the chance to show off with that Reprise. The casual revelation of Herr Schultz's Jewish identity becomes a significant turning point in Act 2.
Lotte Lenya was not competing with Peg Murray. Lenya was nominated as leading actress, up against the great Barbara Harris and Mary Martin. Murray was up for featured actress.
At least Peg Murray got to feel what it was like on both sides when she later played fraulein Schneider later in the play’s run and then in the revival.

She’s getting killer reviews. I’m so happy for her, she’s such a talented actor and I love this random legacy casting.
She was phenomenal in GLOW, I hope her career sees nothing but success

@@wallyrubin5173Yes indeed---had Lenya been nominated as featured, she would have won.

Why is she screaming?
She’s ‘protesting’ in this song, at least that’s my view on it. People get very passionate about politics, especially the n@z1s
