'Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome' to the newest Cabaret revival on Broadway.
Considering all of the ingenuity, energy, and expense that went into creating and designing the 75-minute immersive preshow for the new Broadway revival of “ Cabaret ” , not to mention the reconstruction of the theater itself into an in-the-round nightclub space , one might easy forget about the musical itself.
What made the musical so revolutionary, in addition to its political content and disturbing visuals, was how the plot was indirectly reflected in elaborate production numbers taking place at the Kit Kat Klub, the nightclub ruled over by the Emcee and featuring diva performer Sally Bowles. The cultural and political turmoil evoked in “Cabaret,” including the rise of antisemitism and threat of violent fascism, has probably never felt more urgent during the show’s 60-year-history than it does today.
Staged in the round , it builds upon the environmental atmosphere, decadent flare and gender fluidity of the 1997 production , though ultimately becoming more tawdry, bleak and unsettling than before.
