Present: Nic, Clare and Sue
This was mostly the same show that we (Nic, Brian, Adrian and David) saw in the West End in 2007, when Julian Clary was (allegedly) playing the emcee though not on the night we were there. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it again.
Will Young was pretty small from where we were sitting but he gave a spirited and physical performance with great character. His voice was quiet and sometimes indistinct on the opening "Willkommen, Bien Venue, Welcome" and faded in and out a bit on other songs too. Perhaps this was down to the venue rather than the performer though? His "Tomorrow belongs to me" was fabulous and Siobhan Dillon was an amazing Sally Bowles, nailing Cabaret and displaying an incredible voice. This production is dirty, funny and hard-hitting; the end is chilling.
