The MGM movie musical was the basis for a 1982-83 TV drama with Richard Dean Anderson (''MacGyver'') & River Phoenix!

It ran for 22 episodes and each one featured one musical number by Jimmy Webb, who also wrote its theme song.

Actually, this would be a great opportunity to record for prosperity the actual Broadway Show of "Cabaret" (the other famous Nazi Musical). Maybe they can get Michelle Williams and Alan Cumming to do it. Or Anne Hathaway as Sally Bowles, Justin Timberlake as Cliff, Joel Grey as Herr Schultz and Donna Murphy as Fraulein Kost (she played Lotte Lenya beautifully in LoveMusik).
Keep Alan Cumming as the Emcee.
Let's do it!

Needless to say, this would need to be done other than at Christmastime.

and Donna Murphy as Fraulein Kost (she played Lotte Lenya beautifully in LoveMusik).

So then do you mean as Fräulein Schneider? That's the role that Lenya played. (Kost is the prostitute next door.)

Seth, making cuts...lots of cuts

I had a feeling I was getting that wrong - it didn't sound right. Yes, Fraulein Scneider. Thanks.

or Bette Midler as Fraulein Kost. And if Joey Grey is past the age of Schultz, then Victor Garber.
