It was a very mixed-bag for me. Glover left me cold yet (sometimes) slightly engaged. Star quality of her own and a beautiful voice to match.  Returning to a production for a different performers characterization is always fascinating to watch.  Montego was very grounded and made the dialogue her own but there wasn’t much to it. 

Unfortunately, by the end of Act 2 it dawned on me; I would have preferred her to play Louise (in previous years.).  

I caught the show this evening. It’s a two act evening that is exactly what you would expect; a musical revue. The Orchestra is sublime and the set is simple but charming for this type of piece. 
 

Beth Leavels “Ladies Who Lunch” was the standout. I enjoyed the choices she made. Several people stood. 
 

Gavin Lee’s “Could I Leave You?” was most charming and welcomed.

I saw the show last Wednesday (my third time) and saw Diego Rodriguez as Joe Gillis. First let me say, I enjoy his energy as Artie very much and feel he is well cast. His work as Gillis is solid. He was obviously well rehearsed, even this early in the run. He played off of Scherzinger very well and had great chemistry with Betty (also an understudy). 

Diego actually struck me as a young Tom Cruise type.  There was a boyish innocence displayed. Not equipped to handle

Lambert is knocking it out of the park and it’s only his first performance. Truly a great actor. He gives us fantastic vocals but doesn’t blow you away for the sake of doing so. Very nuanced, both funny and serious. That man is a great stage talent. 
 

Cravalho knocked it out as well. I much preferred her take on the role prior to seeing it last spring. Just my opinion. I can’t say I agree with all the directorial choices for this production… but

We saw this last evening. Cabaret is one of my favorite shows. From professional productions to community players, I love the story. That said, I did not care for this revival at all. 
 
Possible Spoilers:  Granted it was MY decision to experience the table package and join for the pre-show prior to curtain. Walking down the alleyway, up and down steps to go back to the main lobby, where the “pre-show” waits you.. anticlimactic.  The cast is tale

Fortunately, being a grown adult, I had the right of mind to contact tdf support at 9am this morning and was waiting to hear back. I’ve been a tdf member for over 15 years. I have relatives coming in next week and they were inquiring what was available (last minute) as I could purchase tickets &

I re- visited the show at yesterday’s matinee, 8/27. Julie Benko is giving a commanding leading lady performance.  Benko is, in my opinion, a fine actress - you can tell she has studied the role and crafted a fleshed out character. She is giving us a nuanced and layered Brice with the material over the two plus hours. You like her and root for her instantly. Her comedic timing is sharp as she is comfortable and alive in the moment. It was not rehearsed nor robotic in energy. I enjo

I saw the matinee on 4/2. I bought tickets for the first week of previews because we love the show (for the show itself) and I’m sure I would go back as it develops, later in the run. I know the work that one sees during a first week is not where they will be five weeks later, let alone five months. At least in most cases…
 

I am only expressing my perspective, in no way to put down those who may have a different opinion. I think this is a very, very solid reviva
