One of Broadway's all-time classic scores is the basis for the best cast album in recent years. John Kander and Fred Ebb's 1966 masterwork, Cabaret, has been given exquisite new life in this 1998 Broadway production. Accentuating the malevolence lurking behind an already unsettling score, the revision of Cabaret encompasses material written for the brilliant 1972 film version, including "Mein Herr" and "Maybe This Time." The award-winning cast -- Natasha Richardson as Sally Bowles, Alan Cumming as the Emcee, and Mary Louise Wilson as Fraulein Schneider -- score individual triumphs, their indelible characterizations on a par with earlier interpreters Jill Haworth, Joel Grey, and Lotte Lenya, and even the mesmerizing Liza Minnelli. Every drop of drama and excitement is palpable on this CD, due in large part to recording producer Jay David Saks, who captured the exuberant Kit Kat Klub numbers such as "Wilkommen," "Money," and "Don't Tell Mama" live before a responsive audience while also underscoring the stillness and emotional impact behind gut wrenchers like "I Don't Care Much," "What Would You Do?," and the memorable title number.

All Music Guide

With a malevolent grin and the words "willkommen, bienvenue, welcome," actor Joel Grey established his future as well as the dark tone of this 1966 Tony Award-winning musical. This recording includes a number of songs not in the film version, several performed by the remarkable Lotte Lenya (widow of composer Kurt Weill, whose work clearly influenced the John Kander and Fred Ebb score). [Columbia/Legacy's 1998 CD reissue of the original Broadway cast recording of Cabaret contained eight previously unreleased demo records -- several of which are "intros" to a full-fledged song -- plus extensive liner notes featuring the original playbill, rare photos, and an essay by Ken Mandelbaum.] Marjorie Ellen Ruhlmann
