An earlier version of this production directed and choreographed by Josh Rhodes was presented last year at Asolo Repertory Theatre in Florida
Joanna A. Jones’ first experience with “Cabaret” was a production at the University of California, Los Angeles, in which she played one of the Kit Kit Klub dancers.
But Jones appreciates the danger that Sally finds herself in, and the monstrous threat closing in on her world.“I’ve been finding this a lot darker than I’d anticipated. By the time I’ve done the last scene I’m really kind of destroyed. It feels devastating,” she said. “It’s sad to play someone who chooses to close her eyes and pretend that the world is not falling apart around her when it clearly is.
In Rhodes’ conception of “Cabaret,” the performers, including Sally and the Emcee of the Kit Kat Klub, are depicted not as mediocre as they are in many interpretations, but as genuine talents. Few musicals mingle shadows and light the way “Cabaret” does. It can be devil-may-care and raucous as in “Mein Herr,” “Two Ladies” or “Money,” and it can be haunting: the ironical delivery of the title song, and the chilling expression of acquiescence to the Nazis that is “Tomorrow Belongs To Me.”
