There's Mason Alexander Park as the Emcee!!! I've been a fan of theirs since they were in a local production of Cabaret here in the US so it's very very surreal and awesome to see them playing the same role on the West End. The whole cast looks wonderful too - wish I could go see them!
I would give a kidney to see this live with this cast. Mason Alexander Park looks absolutely FABULOUS. Cabaret has been my favorite show since I first saw it back in 2018.
Im heartbroken I didnt have the chance to see Mason and Maude. Everyone brings their own flavour, but Mason just absolutely owns it. They deserve the role on Broadway.
I was there to see Maude perform on the West End stage last Tuesday and she was absolutely wonderful! And yall you gotta be there for the prologue too.
Wow! Maude is such an underrated talent holy crap!!! I saw her in Little Shop of Horrors, and she was amazing as well!!! No idea she could do this, so much range!
I don’t buy her as Sally. She seems too young and inexperienced. And it’s not a role that needs a strong singer, but it absolutely needs a fantastic actress, and I wouldn’t put Maude Apataw up there with Jessie Buckley, Liza Minnelli, Emma Stone, or Natasha Richardson. Maybe in like 5-10 years she’d be better.
@@Sharpe1502 i actually saw Aimee Lou Wood, who is quite young, take an entirely different spin on the role creating a younger far more naive sally which was absolutely heart wrenching and so different! I saw her 4 times because of it - she was just a perfect sally. imo better than jessie but she was fab too.
Nothing wrong with a youthful Sally, and gotta disagree on singing talent. There’s some pretty big songs there, I hate it when they cast a Sally who isn’t a strong singer.
@@jdlund Yeah! I know Sally isn’t supposed to be the best singer, at least that’s what I’ve heard, but from the performances I’ve watched you can obviously tell that all the actors to have portrayed her are strong singers which is amazing! It takes a LOT of control and technique to be able to sing low and have grit and growls!
i saw cabaret at the kit kat club in london on july 6th, and alternate emily benjamin was sally bowles !!! every single moment of this show was just incredible. emily benjamin was mind blowing and haunting. mason alexander park was beautiful and chaotic and honestly scared me a little bit. it was such a unique experience that i’d never trade for anything.
Wish they'd let Mason do a full song instead! Maude's accent is good but her voice isn't particularly strong. Emily Benjamin the alternate absolutely stole the show last year.
Hoping to see this in October, not sure if the cast will have changed. Don’t mind too much who we see but loved Madeline Brewer/Callum Scott when they performed on Graham Norton as Sally and the Emcee. Wow!
@@JewishJeff839Of course. Emcee did always push back against gender/sexuality conformity. In the original and in the ‘98 production you allegedly produced. (And for anyone who sees my comment and asks “What?” Don’t worry about it.)
@@JewishJeff839yes! their gender expression has nothing about their performance and frankly their performance is miles better than whatever you could do.
why does London slow down the scores they take from America and Broadway and slow down the beat its happening with this song, its allot faster all the way though in the origianl score. also big difference in London Disney's Beauty, and Lion King, and Aladdin, why change the tempo's to be so slow??
100% agree. She's just not magnetic enough to hold my attention for more than a few seconds, and she's reaaally leaning into the whole "sally can't sing" thing. Halfway through she checks out emotionally and doesn't utilise any of the wonderful pauses and fermatas written into the music. Wish she'd done better but that's just what happens sometimes when you cast a nepo baby.
@@nmal2007 I saw Cabaret live a few weeks ago and we immediately thought wtf is up with the casting of Sally, such weak singing and presence. We bet each other it was a nepo baby - there you go!
Her performance is being swallowed up by too much costume, makeup, and orchestration for her weak voice. But Caberet works better at well, a cabaret club so maybe she translates better at a small venue.
Sally isn’t supposed to be a good singer. In fact, she’s got better technique than actresses who played the role on BWAY in the 90s. She’s too young for the role and that’s true, but you’re all jaded because of the “nepo baby” backlash. Bandwagoners.
@@JewishJeff839If Cabaret didn’t play on Broadway in 1998, how did you produce it? (For those curious… this clown tried to pass himself off as a producer of the Donmar and Roundabout production in another comments section)
The reformers are just great but the creative choices are just tasteless, I find the story tries to get too introspective before the reveals surrounding the Nazis.
Only just seen this reply.....I maybe slightly out with dates....but weimar period before hitler got into power...Read quite a lot of history of that time actually...I was interested to know that many of the night clubs were Jewish owned...found this information in the cabaret programme..so did some more research.
@@sharronsmyth8775 No, you're correct, this is set in the late 1920s. Which Jeff should hypothetically know, since he's been bragging about how people should read the original Isherwood book in various other comments sections. (But clearly he thinks the fact that came out in 1939 means it must have been set then.)

When their run as Emcee is over they should give Mason Alexander Park a season as Sally. They'd kill it!
I don’t know if they have the range for it. They are incredibly talented don’t get me wrong, but Sally has to belt some pretty darn high notes.

Mason Alexander Park smashed it - absolutely brilliant performance! Would love to see them again.
I would give a kidney to see this live with this cast. Mason Alexander Park looks absolutely FABULOUS. Cabaret has been my favorite show since I first saw it back in 2018.
If there was ever another movie made of Cabaret, Mason Alexander Park would be perfect. They’re the perfect mix of Alan Cumming and Joel Grey.
this would be so good but i would want to see Alan again he was made for this role
she's genuinely talented and passionate. can't wait to see more.
I love this costuming, she's supposed to be 19, she is a baby and it makes you uncomfortable which is the whole point of the show
The baby dress was one of the most clever desitions made for the revival
I don't mind uncomfortable, this just plain looked stupid
I had the pleasure of seeing this live last night and the whole cast was amazing
Im heartbroken I didnt have the chance to see Mason and Maude. Everyone brings their own flavour, but Mason just absolutely owns it. They deserve the role on Broadway.
Totally agree!
Absolutely obsessed with Maude’s interpretation of this song! The costumes, makeup, choreography and her choices are fascinating!
The band arrangements are from "The Boyfriend" book. A new sound for the score.
I was there to see Maude perform on the West End stage last Tuesday and she was absolutely wonderful! And yall you gotta be there for the prologue too.
i gotta admit maude apatow really bodies this song
Saw this live on saturday and it was even better in person!!

The ACTUAL Kit Kat Club is in NYC.
I agree, I saw Emily Benjamin understudying for Amy Lennox and she was outstanding
I love how out of context cabaret always is at west end live. 😅
Miss Lexi Howard, you are a star⭐ I'm so happy for Maude, for everyone.
I have front row dining tickets for this in a few weeks and I CAN'T WAIT!

I’m happy for them 🎉
I’m seeing them on the 28th!!!
Why arnt the performers creditted in the video deacription? I see this all over the internet and it annoys the hell out of me. Name the performers!
Still need to see this
Am really hoping they ask Mason back next year when it comes to Broadway!
How long before this clown show is closed down on Broadway? 2 nights?
@JewishJeff839 now I've lost respect for you!!!!! It will be a huge success I predict....but you don't need to worry
why does London slow down the scores they take from America and Broadway and slow down the beat its happening with this song, its allot faster all the way though in the origianl score. also big difference in London Disney's Beauty, and Lion King, and Aladdin, why change the tempo's to be so slow??
England is slow, so they have to be slow...
It's a different country.
I also wondered about the temp changes. It felt like it was going through molasses
the costume designer clearly didn't understand this number
What do you mean? Not hating or anything I would just love if you elaborate
I *hate* her dress but the performance is phenomenal
Maude!!!!
I don’t want to be THAT person… but maybe Maude is out of her depth here? She’s lovely. I have my reservations tho…
Thought the same thing. It felt like she was thinking a lot while acting. Her movements didn’t seem natural to me.
100% agree. She's just not magnetic enough to hold my attention for more than a few seconds, and she's reaaally leaning into the whole "sally can't sing" thing.

She just needs to be 5 years older.

Were non-binary clowns in WWII??

The clown outfit doesn't help much.
Oh, MSP was phenomenal!
@@JewishJeff839there were absolutely gender nonconforming people in WWII, including trans people. This is easy to look up.
Geez, Maude is terrible.

can't finish watching this dowdy baby women thing
The person in purple needs to
learn the etiquette around upstaging. You are not the star, whatever you think.
or perhaps cast a sally with stage presence who can pull your eye…
@@clodaghmurphy7902i totally agree😂
She’s upstaging because she has more stage presence than Maude, not her fault lol
