CABARET at The Kit Kat Club (Playhouse Theatre) Review

Cabaret Tickets

Set within the murky nights of post-World War 1 Berlin, Cabaret begins during the rise of the Nazi party. However, be prepared to leave your inhibitions behind as you travel back in time to the Kit Kat Club, and watch as romance unfolds during a night of sultry jazz. Relax, let go and be yourself in this blissful and eccentric celebration of singing, dancing and seduction.

Cabaret ist eines der erfolgreichsten Musicals aller Zeiten und enthält die Songs Wilkommen, Don’t Tell Mama, Mein Herr, Maybe This Time, Money und die Titelnummer. Die Gäste erhalten eine “Club-Eintrittszeit”, damit sie Zeit haben, sich den Kit Kat Club anzusehen, aber der Spaß beginnt schon beim Eintreten.

Es ist Montag, der 3. Oktober 2022 und ich habe Tickets für den Kit Kat Club ergattet und gleichzeitig gab es noch einen großen Besetzungswechsel, der dem Publikum den dritten EmCee – Callum Scott Howells aus der Fernsehserie It’s A Sin – und die dritte Sally Bowles bescherte.

Redmayne (der 1. EmCee) wurde für seine Rolle in dieser Produktion mit dem Olivier als bester Schauspieler ausgezeichnet welche “eine sehr körperliche Darbietung” bot, während sein Nachfolger Fra Fee “eine wärmere Gesangsstimme bot, gemischt mit dem Wunsch, sicherzustellen, dass sich jeder im Publikum zumindest zu Beginn der Show willkommen fühlt”.

Callum Scott Howells made me laugh more than his predecessors, he shows a bit more skin, including his butt during the racier Two Ladies, and has a warm Welsh tone to his singing voice despite his German accent.

Wie Redmayne ist er in Two Ladies oben ohne und ist vielleicht ein bisschen freizügiger als seine beiden Vorgänger und alle Bedenken, dass er hier überfordert sein könnte, zerstreuen sich sofort. Ich freue mich schon darauf, ihn Anfang nächsten Jahres in seiner nächsten West End-Rolle im National zu sehen, die kürzlich angekündigt wurde.

Der It’s A Sin-Star Omari Douglas spielte in der Originalbesetzung mit und es ist schön zu sehen, dass dieser Stab in dieser dritten Hauptbesetzung weitergeführt wird.

Jessie Buckley verlieh der Sally Bowles einen brillanten Biss. Sally wird auf der Bühne oft als launisches und sprödes “Manic Pixie Dreamgirl” dargestellt, aber in Buckleys Händen war sie verblendet, manipulativ und oft unsympathisch. Das war eine originelle und faszinierende Sichtweise auf die Figur und macht Bowles’ ständiges Gin-Schunkeln noch verstörender.

With the new cast, Madeline Brewer takes over the role of Sally. One of the original highlights of the show for me was Jessie Buckley's or Emily Benjamin's growly interpretation of the title song. Unfortunately, I was not as taken with Madeline Brewer's -Sally- perfomance. Unfortunately, her acting and delivery of the character Sally just falls flat.

Sid Sagar as Clifford Bradshaw was well cast and held his own against both Douglas and Omar Baroud.

One of the nicest things about this production is the emphasis on the second, older romance between the Jewish Herr Schultz (played here by the reticent Richard Katz) and the troubled Fräulein Schneider, once again beautifully drawn by Vivienne Parry.

While the cost of living will continue to rise, the decadence of the establishment, with its emphasis on champagne and leaving one's worries outside, will become increasingly apparent.

If you haven't made it to see this classic yet, don't let the big recasting scare you off, because the production is still just as good, if a bit different, as it ever was.

What good is it to sit alone in your room when there is such a magical cabaret in the West End where you can completely lose yourself?
