I too was impressed. I felt so bitter about Sam as Sally, but once act two was over came out eating my words. My boyrfriend was particularly happy as he was afraid I'd complain throughout lol! I think Sleep was okay the Emcee, worked with the audience well, but I've always preferred the Emcee a lot sexier, which Sleep CANNOT by ANY means deliver, haha! The set was a huge improvement from teh London production, looked a lot more Cabaret, although it couldve been a lot grittier. What I liked when it was in the Lyric was the grittiness of the sets, but disliked the abstractness (did I make up a word there?) of the sets. So combine the grittiness from teh Lyric, and the sets from the tour and I think they'd be great! It seemed a lot more typical Cabaret than when it was in London, and a lot tighter too. However Cliff kept losing his accent, but who cares, he was yummy! :P
