#1Cabaret Help Please?!
Posted: 6/16/13 at 9:48pmOkay, so I know your not supposed to watch the movie before you see the live show but I watched Cabaret the movie version and instantly fell in love with the song "Money" for Thespian Competion and I was sad to see that its not a duet in the stage version but there is a million and one different stage versions so I wanted to know if there was some kind of revival or version of Cabaret where "Money" was duet or if its just the movie. Thanks!

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 6/16/13 at 10:26pmI'm not particularly fond of the movie, but I recognize that it is good. And I don't see why Money couldn't be a duet on stage, if that's what you're asking.

"Not suppose to? Says who? for many people the film is the only way TO see a show."
This may not be the reason in this case, but directors and teachers do tell performers not to watch the movie so that they don't copy the performance or get attached to doing it the way it was presented in the movie.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

By that point in the stage show, Sally does not work at the club any more.

Posted: 6/17/13 at 11:58amI was under the impression that the OP is looking to perform the song as a single number in a showcase. Did I interpret Thespian Competition the wrong way?

Posted: 6/17/13 at 12:47pmIn that case I don't see why it matters that at the point Money appears in the show Sally has been fired.
