I happened to be lucky enough to see cabaret last night and I thought the production was stunning. My first kudos must go to the production team as a whole and the fine direction by Paul Treasure of this impeccable cast. Tyler Jones as Emcee was so charismatic and witty that every second he was on stage was an absolute gift. He has a strong voice that only added to his sublime on-stage delivery. Breeahn Jones as Sally also had such a mighty and beautiful voice and was so controlled yet powerful in her delivery of the character. The rest of the cast was also highly impressive and a special mention is deserved to the highly capable Fraulein Schneider as well as the cabaret girls who allowed the show to be brought to life with their wonderful characterizations. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the musical Cabaret or simply theater itself as this show is a stunning example of what hard work and an immensity of local talent can accomplish. - Theo

I saw Cabaret last weekend and thought it was a thoroughly entertaining show! I loved the way that the sets were kept to a minimum, the audience seating was intimate and really had the feeling I was actually in a run down night club in Berlin in the 1930s. I thought that all the performers did a great job! Standouts,in my opinion were the Emcee, Cliff Bradshaw and Fraulein Schneider-all of their delivery and characterisations were totally believable. I felt that Sally Bowles did a good job,(an amazing voice) but could have delivered with more depth into her complex character! Herr Schultz needs to enunciate more and finish his phrases without "dying" off at the end. All the same, he was a believable "fuddled" Jew. The Kit Kat girls were incredibly sexy,and left you feeling somewhat uncomfortable at times with their "in your face" antics. Well Done!~ All in all, a fantastic alternative way to present this show-$25 well spent!!!
