Product Description

Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome to Cabaret. Inside the Kit Kat Klub of 1931 Berlin, starry-eyed singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) and an impish emcee (Joel Grey) sound the call to decadent fun, while outside a certain political party grows into a brutal force. Boasting a score by the legendary songwriting partnership of John Kander and Fred Ebb, Cabaret won eight Oscars *, including awards for Minnelli, Grey and director Bob Fosse, who shaped a triumph of style and substance. Come to this cabaret, old chum. You'll never want to leave.

Customer Reviews

"Tomorrow belongs to me."

There are several recordings from the stage of this movie out there. This movie has songs that you remember and probably sing in the shower. It is also the only movie production of the play; therefore, even though it is exceptional, there is no comparison. I appreciate books that become movies and movies that are novelized. So naturally, I read Christopher Isherwood's “Berlin Stories". They were o.k. However, it was not Cabaret by any stretch of the imagination. What I found interesting is that I always heard that Germans liked to sing about things like the deer in the field and so forth. Here, there was a perfect example when they broke into a song with "Tomorrow Belongs to Me." You are swept up in it and forget that this is just a movie. The pacing and photography in the movie were excellent. As long as you have not seen the play, you will not notice the absence of some songs such as “Don't Tell Mama,” And the thing that “Money Money” is natural. On the darker side, the movie is more than just a musical romp through Germany. And the specter of the approaching NSDAP regime is also well portrayed.
