Cabaret.Cabaret cabaret Restaurant that serves liquor and offers light musical entertainment. The cabaret probably originated in France in the 1880s as a small club that presented amateur acts and satiric skits lampooning bourgeois conventions. * Jonathan Pryce, Judi Dench Dame Judith Olivia Dench, CH, DBE, FRSA, (born 9 December 1934), usually known as Dame Judi Dench, is an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Tony, three-time BAFTA, and six-time Laurence Olivier Award-winning English actress. , Fred Ebb Fred Ebb (born April 8 1933 in Manhattan [1] — died September 11 2004 in New York City) was a musical theatre lyricist who had many successful collaborations with composer John Kander. , Gregg Edelman, and Maria Friedman Maria Friedman (born Switzerland, 1960) is a musical theatre actress who has worked on both the Broadway and West End stages as well as television. Family Maria was born in Switzerland and was brought up in the UK (but her first language in childhood was German). * Jay Records The latest recording of Cabaret is not the Broadway revival but a two-CD set with Jonathan Pryce as the emcee, Maria Friedman as Sally Bowles, and most especially Judi Dench. Three decades after playing Sally in London, Dench sings a bitterly memorable Fraulein Schneider. Her wrenching delivery of "What Would You Do?" (in the face of Nazism) is an eloquent expression of an ordinary person's dilemma in confronting tyranny. As with the current Broadway hit, the inclusion of added songs from both the film and the 1987 Broadway revival is a bonus. |
