Life is a Cabaret

Saw Cabaret at the Theatre Building last night. F. was playing a waiter and a custom's official, but his big moment was the solo in Tomorrow Belongs to Me. Took R. with us as well, despite the "Mature Content" warning. Yes, there were, as R. put it, a lot of "butts and crotches" in the show, but as Fraulein Schneider says, "So vat?" It was a brilliant production - lots of Fosse-like staging, with the kit kat girls posed around the set like pieces of furniture (and with their torn stockings and bruised faces, their status as chattel was nearly complete). It was powerful, it was sad, it was a riot, and the Pineapple Song was not to be missed.
