By Iconic seems too small a word to describe Cabaret, but the musical has always defied description and refused to fit into any box—which is precisely why the show has endured since its Broadway debut in 1966.
Over the years it’s earned a film adaptation, productions on London’s West End, international stagings, 12 Tony awards, and now, its fifth Broadway revival.When debuted at the Kit Kat Club at the August Wilson Theater in April, it opened to hysteria.
Yes, it was a hot ticket for the show’s devoted cult-following, but it also conjured the rare buzz that reaches beyond theater fans.
The show, which scored the most Tony nominations for a revival this year, has been the most and on Broadway.One of Cabaret’s nine Tony nominations has been bestowed upon actor Gayle Rankin, who stars as the English chanteuse Sally Bowles.
We are first introduced to Sally at the Kit Kat Club by the Master of Ceremonies or Emcee (played by Eddie Redmayne), who calls her the Toast of Mayfair.
She launches into the number “Don’t Tell Mama” dressed like a baby in a ruffled skirt, puffy sleeves, and bonnet.
It’s a fitting outfit for a song in which Sally shares that her mother believes she’s joined the convent.
There’s arguably no better character introduction in all of theater.This content can also be viewed on the site it from.Throughout the show, Rankin’s Sally is rollicking and vulnerable, funny and heartbreaking.
It’s the level of acting demanded by a show like Cabaret, which offers a searing look into 1930s Berlin on the cusp of political upheaval from the Third Reich.
