Pros: Fabulous Cast, Choreography, and Music Cons: Any one disturbed by sexual content should NOT see it.
A Friend and I went to see the touring production of
"Cabaret." It was in coordination with the Roundabout theater company
and the SFX theater company, but it was still (except for the actors and seating) the same as the...

Pros: The atmosphere & the performance. Cons: The price of beverages.
As soon as you walk into Club 54 you are a part of a long history of the "in-group" fantasy parties. Set up as a true "cabaret," you're immediately part of the action: performers warming-up on the stage and at various locations...

Pros: Jon Peters, the elderly couple Cons: Lea Thompson
Went to see the touring show in Houston last night. Jon Peters was superb as the Emcee -- by far the highlight of the evening. The shuffling in and out of the orchestra between songs was innovative and well done. The dance scene ("Married")...

Pros: music, cast, story Cons: heavy emphasis on sex and homosexuality
This musical has been resurrected with a new direction. It has lost some of its innocence on the 1960s and is a much more disturbing retelling of Berlin in 1932. The music is still fabulous and the cast energetic. The theatre and the sets fall right...

Pros: Emotional, very resourceful Cons: A bit sexual so I'd be reluctant to take my family to it
I saw Cabaret the winter of 1999 in New York's own Studio 54 and I was mezmerized. I didn't find the musical score all that inspiring, nor interesting though, but I did think everything else was spectacular and sure made up for that. I had excellent...

Pros: everything... the atmosphere, the decadence, the music Cons: none!
The best way to experience Cabaret (the current revival on Broadway) is to sit at the cabaret-style tables at the front of the theatre. My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to get canceled tickets at Studio 54, where we sat at table #144, just three...

Pros: Show starts with you laughing and ends with you speechless........ Cons: Not for children
What's to say? I saw the original movie many years ago. When I heard who was in the lead roles(Neil Patrick Harris and Deborah Gibson), I figured I would go anyway!!! Within 10 seconds of his taking the stage, I forgot that he ever played Doogie...

Pros: entertaining Cons: can be a little much for conservative people
When I first saw John Stamos appear in Cabaret I was a bit surprised. I remember him from the tv sitcom Full House and his character on the show was COMPLETELY different from his role in Cabaret. So added to the entertainment was a feeling of surprise...

Pros: Hilarity, Disparity, Ingenuity, and Musicality all wrapped up in one spectacular box. Cons: Not exactly mother-approved!
We have no troubles here...
Leave your biases at the door, because anyone who sees Cabaret is going to be delightfully assaulted by almost every venue of sexuality, humor, and innuendo... What fun!
This show takes place in...

Pros: Fun Location Great Play Cons: Not for the conservative theater goer
This is such a well done revival. Great songs, great actors, great set. The play is a funny, naughty, and even at times touching view of life on stage in 1930's Berlin. The fact that it is now playing at Studio 54 only adds to the feeling of debauchery...

Pros: The music and dancing Lives Cons: The sexual lifestyles overplayed
I must of seen the 1970's Movie with my eyes closed because the play was nothing like the movie. I took my two teenage daughters to see the play in San Francisco and I was taken by surprise the sexual twists in the play. I was not prepared to have my...

Pros: Great Energy, and Music Cons: Nudity
Wow! was the first reaction that came out of my mouth! I wowed at how much sex there was, but also how good it was! Usually the original B-way cast is better than the ones to come. I'm not saying that the original B-way cast was bad, but I liked this one...
