I didnt know that Jane Horrocks ("Little Voice", Bubble from "AbFab") was Sally in the London Donmar Warehouse production of "Cabaret". This would of course inspire the Studio 54 NY version.

Anyone seen this, apparently it is available on video.

Her performance in LITTLE VOICE is astounding, one of the best of 1998 if you ask me...

yes i agree, her "Little Voice" was fantastic. if you look back at the 1999 oscar noms, it's a shame to see that Horrocks wasn't in the race for best actress. the thing that gets me is that "LV" was a play before it was a movie, how she could do what she did 8 times a week is astounding.

I've seen the televised verision, and must say that her Sally wasn't really my cup of tea.

Loved her in AbFab thou

Jane Horrocks was an AWFUL Sally Bowles, only cast as she was dating Sam Mendes at the time. The Donmar version of the show is a great idea but deeply flawed in execution. The Studio 54 version clearly owes a lot to Rob Marshall.

Heh, I agree.

She was painful to watch.
Was it me, or did the audience laugh more with (at?) her than with Alan Cumming?

She wasn't very good....the woman who played Fraulein Schneider though was AMAZING.

Horrocks was terrible. Spoke sang and screamed the entire score. Painful to listen to.

It's not commercially available. It was shown on television in England, but never released on video or dvd.
