That makes perfect sense, and there was a diverse array of foreigners coming to Berlin at that time. The big leap is Cliff's relationship with Ernst. Why would Ernst, a Nazi, not only immediately befriend a black man with no reservations, but also trust him with important errands and information? Why would he allow himself to be taught En

Obviously Corey Cott hits the gym, good for him. I get some of you were having fun with those comments but still it is really tacky IMO. Part of me also wonders the comments some of you would make if some guys made similar comments about a body part of a good looking woman. I have a feeling you would be c
The critics saw right through the smoke and mirrors of this production. It's trying to be "cool and edgy". It is neither. I'm glad Neuwirth and Skybell escaped the mess unscathed.

I have been a fan since The Right Stuff and Sweetest Days albums. She’s a star. I am very happy with this casting."
You must be my spiritual twin. I've loved Vanessa forever and a day and those two albums along with her stellar Th
"Exploring the Myth of Cabaret" - after watching this video, what I want to see now is a reproduction of the original 1966 Harold Prince staging...now THAT would be revolutionary.

EDIT: Okay, what the hell...JERRY BRUCKHEIMER is a character in this show!?!"
Didn’t she write “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing” from Armageddon?! Just imaginehow overwrought and hammedup a MT singer singing that song is gonna be, lol!"
Are the same people who are "reporting" that Audra McDonald is playing "Mama Rose" in GYPSY, the same people who reported that Rachel Zegler was going to star in the next big Broadway revival of EVITA?

Ashley Wool is right."
Please tell me school groups are still coming to Broadway/Off-Broadway shows?? They still do that right??"
