CABARET Advantages: A star - studded cast, value for money format. Disadvantages: ? ...Fosse. *THE STORY* Cabaret brings 1931 Berlin (The Weimer Republic era) to life inside and outside the Kit Kat club ( A female girlie club). Starry eyed American Sally Bowles romances 2 men while the Nazi party rises to power to become a brutal force in the streets outside. Whilst inside impish "emcee" (Joel Grey) and Sally sound the call for decadent fun. Into this world comes British language teacher (Michael York) who falls for Sally's charm ... ...*MY OPINION* Cabaret is more than a musical, it is a tough, satirical, acrid and provoking show, I found it racy and very sexy. As a background to the entertainment some insights into life in pre Nazi Germany as the Nazi party rise to power. An eerie, glowing tinderbox full of grinning souls and desperate laughter. I really enjoyed it and will probably watch the DVD again. The central characters are well played by York, Minnelli and Grey. York ...
