I ended up, quite unexpectedly, seeing Cabaret this afternoon...from stage-side seats, no less. (Let's hear it for a last minute ticket purchase at the box office WITH a discount code!) The house seemed to be full, so I guess I just got lucky.
At any rate, I was quite impressed with the entire cast. I've never been that crazy about the Frau Schneider and Herr Schultz characters or their songs, but Blair Brown and Tony Roberts won me over. And I'd been skeptical about Adam Pascal as the Emcee, but not any more. I thought he nailed it. And to tell you the truth, if I'd not been aware that he was playing the role going in, it would have taken me a few minutes to recognize him. This make-up makes his features look more sculpted than I recall from Aida or Rent. Ah, but the voice remains the same.
