Cabaret (Touring) Tickets

Broadway at your front door. Highly professional and talented Cast. I will be attending another performance of this tour. Go see this show!

I have high respect for the Lexington Opera House, but they let me down when they allowed a vulgar show like Cabaret to perform. This performance should be rated R. I was embarressed for those who brought their familys to this production.

What a performance!!! The actor had wonderful singing voices and told the story with so much charisma!

I saw Cabaret 50 years ago in Cincinnati. I remember being pulled into the chaos and turmoil of pre-war Berlin. The compelling music drew one into the time. I was looking forward to seeing it again with different eyes . However, the graphic depictions of homosexual acts I found distracted from the excellent dancing and the pathos of the story. I was disappointed to see Cabaret had changed. The orchestra was excellent. I especially like the way it was framed with an askew picture frame. It was intriquing to see how the instruments blended on stage with the action and the chaos of the time.

We saw the Saturday matinee show, so perhaps that had something to do with it. Sally Bowles wasn't really engaged until the 2nd half, and that's hard to get beyond when she is such a central charactor. Maybe this performance was a warm up for the Saturday evening show - I don't know. The two older characters carried the show, in my opinion. They were the only characters I came away carrying about.

I think the word "average" describes it very well... this wasn't a spectacular production of Cabaret. The actors were competent, if uninspiring. The sets weren't anything to write home about. The lead trio (Bradshaw, Bowles, and the Emcee) at times seemed to be mailing in their performances... especially Sally's last number, which just lacked any energy at all. The highlights of the evening were: The Orchestra (amazing music... I wish the sound system was better so we could truly appreciate it more, though). And the play of Herr Schultz and Frau Schneider. At times, to be honest, if I didn't know the story line of the show, I'd have thought the whole thing was about them and they were the leads. Exceptional performances by those two. Finally, the ending was almost high school quality - the live orchestra was replaced by a tape of the Broadway show music and the acting was forced, badly.

...and I have seen a lot of productions of Cabaret. I loved this show so much, I went twice in Seattle. Twice. It was astonishing. The interpretations were truly brilliant. The choices they made were insightful and, again, brilliant. The singing was solid from every single person. But our Emcee was the. best. ever. Jon Peterson, I believe his name was. Good lord, this guy was a miracle on earth. See this show. Applaud loudly! And go twice, or three times!

Good show but not the best I've seen... went on a Sunday and wasn't very crowded

It was amazing omg I hope to see again one day again and the overal feel was so crazy like it was a very strong and scandalous when I left I just wanted more

I had vague memories of the movie starring Joel Grey and Liza Minnelli - dancing, some great songs, and bit of Nazi Germany. So I ordered tickets. This production, however, was "updated" and would appropriately have been rated R (unlike the movie in my recollection). It seemed like three quarters of the production involved a man groping, humping, grabbing another man's genitals or a woman's breasts and buttocks. It was a bit too much for me. The rest of the movie and the meaningful parts got kind of lost in all that. I only gave it two stars because the cast did a good job - just this production was not something worth seeing.
