<i>Cabaret</i> - 1:16PM on 9/16/2011

I thought the production was well done but somewhat uneven. It did not flow as easily as I had seen in other versions. The acting by Sally & Cliff was over the top while the older couple underplayed and came away much better indicated by the applause at the curtain call. The MC was also uneven. The stage seemed crowded in the dance sequences and theKit Kat Klub set was too nice to represent a seedy club in the underbelly of Berlin.
Overall it was the music and the vocals that make the show worth seening.

For me the standouts were Mary Gordon Murray & Robert Picardo as the older couple. Especially Miss Murray. The Kit Kat Club band was excellent and it was an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours. I wish that "Why Should I Wake Up" had been left in since its such a beautiful song for Cliff to sing about Sally. Overall 3 out of 4 stars.
