I read on another board that Adam Pascal was replaced after the opening number by Vance Avery last night.

Apparently some announcement was made about technical difficulties and Susan Egan and Rick Holmes walked off stage and a few minutes later, after an announcement that Vance Avery would now be playing the Emcee, the show continued. No one seems to know why the switch happened. Maybe Pascal was ill. Is Avery still in the show or is he just the standby?

I wonder what the "technical difficulties" were?

Have fun, cabarethed. I would have loved to have been able to see the show once more, but I couldn't make it up to NY. Damn. Atleast I have the memory of Raul and Heather Laws.

On the other board, someone said that Susan and Liz at the stagedoor said he hurt his knee.

I wish I could go to the closing night, but I'm going to the closing night performance of The Caretaker.

I did attend the Saturday evening performance and I heard about Adam's injury. I hope he's fine for tonight's show.


Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Susan Egan, Adam Pascal, Blair Brown, Tony Roberts, The cast of Cabaret and the incredible Vance Avery perform in the Roundabout Theatre Company's production of Cabaret.

I was amazed at what I witnessed last night. It was one of those terrific experiences that an audience member should ALWAYS have when they go to the theatre.

The production was wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. I'm sad that the musical is closing tonight, but it had a glorious six year run on Broadway. Everyone who was involved in this production should be proud of what they've left thousands upon thousands of audience members. I can see another revival of this musical on Broadway within 30 years.

btw - I just do not understand audience members at times. During the scene in Act 2, when Cliff is trying to convince Sally to leave with him to Paris, this guy's cell phone rang. His wife was mortified and she cuffed him on the head. Another woman was walking back to her seat during this scene as well and she didn't even TRY to not make any noise. Her thick-soled heel shoes were making noise. Another group of audience members were having a conversation that I could hear in the front of the audience. I don't get it. Maybe there should be classes taught for "Theatre Audience Participation: 101".

i was supposed to go yesterday . but they said it was obstructed view so my friend opted not to take it. how bad are the obstructed view at studio 54? he said we wouldnt see ANYTHING

Oh damn I wish I could go!!!! Well, whoever's going, have a fun fun time!!

Wow...I saw CABARET on Sunday and felly really lucky now that i got to see Adam. That would really suck if he didn't get to perform the last show! Everyone who's going have a great time!

so there are no bad seats?

Is John Stamos tghe kiss of death for a show.. it seems like anytime he goes into a show it puts up a closing notice. Poor Adam, at least he has Tarzan.
