West End CABARET Eyeing Broadway Transfer to the Hudson?

The Mendes production was groundbreaking, but every professional production wants to take it a step further with the sex and shock value. I never got that impression during the current London revival, and was grateful Frecknall and company took it in a refreshing direction. The result is a stellar production of one of the best musicals of all time.

This gives me the most hope that I will enjoy this production. I feel like this has been the overall trend in revivals of many shows lately - 'darker, sexier, GRITTIER". It's not always a bad idea but it is becoming a bit of a cliche.

The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

I may have to finally make a return visit!

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

John McCrea is kind of obvious and inspired casting at the same time. What a great idea.

I’m curious if Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar Jones have been approached yet to do Cabaret together, I’m sure that would go over well. Not saying they would do it in New York, but just in general.

I would love to see that. Daisy will probably be in the throes of shooting Beautiful: The Carole King Movie Musical (my unofficial title haha) by the time she'd be approached or be able to do any sort of theatre production.

I would rather another remounting of the sam mendes Cabaret, which is far superior.

I think most of us are all set on the Mendes production. I can respect the artistry and it’s place in theatre history, but let’s put the kibosh on that iteration.

Hey! Let's also give some love to Aimee Lou Wood who is wonderful in Sex Education and was a magnificent Sonya in Uncle Vanya.

Cast recording officially drops in a few hours. If you stream on Spotify, there is some footage of Buckley’s performance of the title number.

Still wish they would have included the Entr’acte at least for the digital release but I will stream it and give it another listen when it drops.

Absolutely blown away by this recording, WOW

Redmayne sounds fantastic, and Buckley is truly sublime. Praying they come to Broadway in this production!

I am so happy this is finally available on music streaming platforms! WOW, this recording is just a masterpiece! Kander and Ebb's score is a masterpiece in its own way but this new cast recording has made me love Cabaret even more! I really hope they announce a Broadway transfer soon!

I'll never understand anyone who likes Redmayne's singing. Sounds like Kermit the Frog trying way too hard.

Lots of shouting, ad libs and forced character voices on this album. It’s not much fun to listen to. Luckily there are many recordings of this score to choose from.

I agree with MrsSallyAdams, i've heard better. I'm not into all the constant shouting, and I agree that Eddie sounds like kermit. Does anyone know what he says in the opening when he's introducing the cabaret girl from America. "Texas is from America, and I love..." What does he say?

The recording is wonderful, and a terrific representation of this exquisite production. If you’re looking to hear Grey, there are a quarter dozen professional recordings with his portrayal. Or if you are longing for Mendes vision and Cumming’s almost German accent, have at it. I am sure seeing this production aides in one’s ability to thoroughly enjoy the record, however the goods are still there for us all.

I have been saying this since last winter, but New York would be lucky to have this transfer.

Texas is from America and I love a good yank.

As someone who thought Amy Lennox's performance at the Olivier Awards last year was way too over-the-top, it's nice to hear that Jessie Buckley's bears little resemblance to it.

Just saw the Redmayne listening party video and it was a wonderful thing. He did mention von Karajan so I'm feeling so pleased with myself for catching that reference in the production.
