It’s so weird seeing other people interact with a very niche and pretty old TH-cam video. There’s a comment from fours hours ago, you think you’re the only only one who has looked at this in ages, and yet lo and behold
To be fair, Cabaret has gained some attention again because of the current Broadway revival. Makes sense that us two are not the only ones down a Cabaret rabbit hole right now!
It’s great to see such high quality video of most of the original staging of the opening and closing numbers. Found the bartender distracting during the titular number.
16:00 hurts to watch. I mean no disrespect to the actor but that is one of the most important lines in the show. It should have so much weight on it but nope nothin. Cliff lacked a lot of emotion.
This was such a trash production…. I’m so happy they made a muuuuuch better version. Just because something is original does NOT mean it’s “best” like some comments are trying to claim
Not that I know of. This version of the song is underwhelming in my opinion, and I don’t blame that on Grey. This should be the Emcee’s showstopper, but this production seems to treat it like an afterthought... probably because the audience had never heard it before.
@@treesnylmao no it is not. This felt like a terrible high school production full of students who had zero idea of what this mucosal could be. What a garbage dumpster fire. Good for you for loving this BS of a turd that later became GREAT
I mean, the Alan Cumming version is fine and all, but the way they put the part with Sally and Cliff arguing in the middle of I Don’t Care Much makes this one of my favorite renditions of the song.
Naaaah the new one is SO MUCH F**KING BETTER than this trash. It’s insane this musical got the legs it did. Thanks to Liza in the film. And thanks to the OG 90’s production… or else 1000000% this trash would have been loooong forgotten
One could probably assume that Joel Grey has a reason for why he did that...considering it's supposed to be one of the final shows, and things are devolving into Nazi Germany taking over...
Interesting version of the title song. It was sped up (or perhaps has been slowed down in more recent versions) and I felt it made it less impactful. I appreciated what was evoked with the way it started but think I prefer it being started as it usually is. I think this actress is phenomenal though
richardson was sally in the 1998 broadway revival, which gets confused with the 1993 production where she was played by jane horrocks. they get confused since alan cumming played emcee in both, but they're different productions

@@CindersSpotI need to purge the Tony’s trauma from my mind.
@@CindersSpot We are not... we three are not the Only ones... Surely!
not the only one!
I am so obsessed with joel grey's em. Hes just the perfect one.
I'm the same way about Alan Cumming. Whatever floats ones boat.
@@JiveDadson Yes! Personally I never really vibed with Alan but he is certainly some people's favourites for a reason.
At the end Joel looks so happy, he probably feels so amazing and overwhelmed

--titular-- eponymous
@@JiveDadson Genuine question, don't they mean the same thing?

Whoa, I've never heard Joel Grey sing I don't care much. Does anyone know if there's a studio recording of this?
Same! I thought it was a addison in the Alan Cummings revival and it's so weird to hear Joel sing this
Nerdy Ginger 928 well it was originally cut from the original production

Not as dark as the later revivals with Alan Cummings. But Joel has a both Tony and an Oscar for originating this role so seeing this is STILL special.
I saw both the original production and this revival. The revival was greatly inferior to the original.
@@treesny The productions were very different. Agree to disagree.
@@treesnylmao no it is not. This felt like a terrible high school production full of students who had zero idea of what this mucosal could be. What a garbage dumpster fire. Good for you for loving this BS of a turd that later became GREAT
This sally is amazing.
Anybody else reviewing this one?

they did this with alan too! but they both sound very different

Cliff is emotionless
Oh my god yes, he sucks.
I know like oml at around 16:00 👀
He's horrible! Except for a select few, this cast is awful
do you guys this that joel grey can sometimes rush lines, like at his part at 17:03. i mean i love joel grey and all
Sometimes in stage shows they force actors to Rush lines. I think thtas what happens here, but it isnt implemented very well.
@@buckjohnson3748 that’s what i thought, he kind of just said it really fast and this is one of the shows where i saw that
One could probably assume that Joel Grey has a reason for why he did that...considering it's supposed to be one of the final shows, and things are devolving into Nazi Germany taking over...
I thought it was purposeful because of the state of Germany and the club at that point

Yesss this original version is trash… thank goodness it was all rewritten into what we have today
Who is the actress who plays Sally Bowles here?
Does sally sing like that on purpose as the character? Because looking at all other parts, this looks really rushed and emotionless
Man probably the weakest Cabaret ending I've seen. Staging was phenomenal but the performances were lacking any kind of weight.
Is this Natasha Richardson as Sally?
no. according to wikipedia it was alyson reed. Richardson played sally on broadway in 1993.
@@aircatcher77141998*, Jane Horrocks played Sally in the 1993 Donmar warehouse production !

Is this Broadway?
Yes, this is the 1987 Broadway Revival
Right now we are on 7th. 7th... &- i can't see a sign,
Wait, i will find out...
Oh, Broadway?
oh, This Production...
Never mind
Who was the actor playing Bradshaw?
Gregg Edelman, I believe!
I'm almost scared to ask, but is there any meaning behind the acronym for Kit Kat Klub?
I've always wondered
Why would a German-based club in Europe have anything to do with them? Such an American take.
It's known that the Nazis took many inspiration from American's Jim Crow laws. Perhaps it was a nod to that
Colonel Klink!
Yes Werner Klemperer is in this
Uh, no... isn't this another person... uh... Character. i believe it is a Character- a different Character.
Unless...
Idk what they were thinking with this cast, especially cliff. He's terrible.
is Cliff purposely uninteresting & one dimensional... perhaps?
i mean i'm not... that, uh...
Warum bewegt sich die Frau nicht ?
Meinst du das, oder sagst du das nur so?
Weil... es ist nicht Liza Lieber Liza!
Es tut mir leid... ich wurde Zu heiß gebadet als kind!
i love seeing this... but Liza Minelli is So Remarkable -for me... my own problem, & with respect
15:05 LETZTE ANSAGE !!!!!!
Bitte Versprechen!
Ach... Wo sind Liza!? Bitte
Mit Respekt
