Last night after a performance of the thrilling new production of Cabaret we sang Happy Birthaday to the original Emcee Joel Grey who was there in the audience and celebrating his 92nd birthday. It was the kind of New York night you dream about with incredible New Yorkers everywhere you looked.(Yes that is John Kander). Won't ever forget it.

Looks like there are some Cabaret fans here, so I found my programme of Roundabout Theatre Company's production I saw many years ago.

This Broadway revival was was based on the 1993 London production, directed by Sam Mendes, and performed at Club 54!

The main cast were:

Alan Cumming as the Emcee

Natasha Richardson as Sally Bowles

John Benjamin Hickey as Cliff Bradshaw

Mary Louise Wilson as Fräulein Schneider

Ron Rifkin as Herr Schultz

Historic ‘Willkommen’

Eddie Redmayne welcomes original Emcee Joel Grey to the Kit Kat Club NYC on his 92nd birthday, along with Cabaret composer John Kander.

Repost @susie_babani on IG: “best musical I’ve seen so far - Cabaret (which has always been a favourite of mine) currently in previews - partially transplanted from the London version I was meant to see back in December 2021 but the cast all got covid and the performance was cancelled - so I’ve had to wait a long time and cross an ocean to see #EddieRedmayne as the Emcee and #bebeneuwirth…It’s going to be a smash hit. But more surprises in store as #JoelGrey who starred in the movie was in the audience (it was his 92nd birthday today) and so was John Kander who wrote all the original music. Plus a fair bit of star spotting in the audience - Anderson Cooper, Molly Ringwald, Candace Bergen and I think Katie Couric (only got snaps of the latter two and the special guests).”

And a special treat:

Der habituelle Geburtstagsfilm für Liza, Martin Scorseses unverständlicherweise vielignoriertes musikalisches Bebopsaxophonisten-und-Unterhaltungssängerinnen-passen-einfach-nicht-zueinander-(aber wahrscheinlich liegt es nur daran, daß er so unerträglich ist)-Liebesdrama funktioniert als Motivation, mein Bisher-ungesehene-Scorsese-Filme-Projekt noch etwas voranzutreiben wesentlich besser, als der bisher gesehene zuvor ungesehene.

I’m currently watching Funny Lady, which is the film sequel to Funny Girl. It’s not regarded as as strong as the original - it certainly lacks the tragic propulsion that gives Funny Girl its magnetism. But it’s good, and has a strong score by, of all people, Kander and Ebb, mixed in with a lot of early 20th century popular songs.

It’s only a film (so far), and just like it lacks Styne and Merrill who composed and wrote lyrics to the original, it also lacks William Wyler, the original director, who is replaced by Herbert Ross, who staged the original film’s musical numbers. Streisand finally agreed to do it after seeing the script, thinking it was more than a half-baked sequel, and she’s right - Fanny feels more mature than the original, like it’s real character development.

It’s an underrated gem, I think! Maybe not a knockout, but Streisand is great, and the Kander and Ebb score is better than most. Fred Ebb in particular finds the maturer, more cynical, sarcastic voice of Brice in his lyrics . It also has pretty much all diegetic music, unlike the original, possibly because in the seven years between the films, musicals were out and music films were in. Streisand does a Brice impression that is much more recognisable as the late era Brice who was captured on film and tv than her early, more innocent years, which most people are unfamiliar with, and it really feels like she’s making an adult performance in the role, and shows her talent for comedy maybe even better than the original. A shame that so many songs are montaged, but Spotify gives you them in full!

This song, I Found A Million Dollar Baby (in a five and ten cent store), sees Barbra absolutely radiant in a top hat and tails, but was also originally written by Harry Warren, Mort Dixon and Billy Rose - the latter one of the characters in Funny Lady!
