| It's simply an excuse to cast a "name" without regard to vocal talent. If the creators truly wanted bad singers in the role, they would have limited the number of songs Sally has to sing. There are plenty of good singers who wind up singing in lousy clubs. It's a tough business. Even a brilliant singing Sally could wind up in a lousy club. Why doesn't anybody wonder why an incredibly dynamic M.C. is working in that same lousy club in Berlin? Shouldn't the MC be bad too? Give me a musical where the actors sing. Well. I can suspend my disbelief enough to fill in the rest of the story. I perfectly accepted Liza as Sallyin the film. She certainly might not have made it in a better club for many other reasons than her voice - she was quirky, not pretty, those are enough reasons why she may not have been able to land a job elsewhere. But damn, it was good to hear Liza belt out those tremendous numbers rather than have some tone deaf actress "ACT" her way through the role. If I wanted a non-singing Sally, I'd go see I AM A CAMERA not CABARET. | |

| "Why doesn't anybody wonder why an incredibly dynamic M.C. is working in that same lousy club in Berlin? Shouldn't the MC be bad too?" I've seen Grey in the film and in the 1987 revival, and I saw Cumming when the Roundabout production was new, and I always felt that the Emcee was meant to be a third-rate performer. However dynamic and talented those men may be, they played the character as a third-rate performer. | |

| Harold Prince said he had a certain performer in mind when the Emcee role was created who was someone he had seen in Germany I believe. Joel Grey I believe when it came time to actually creating that character recalled some very embarrassingly bad Borsht Belt comic he had seen perform--sort of the type that radiates "flop sweat". However Prince and Grey had it in their minds, it pretty much needed to be suggested rather than totally realized in the musical telling; otherwise, the performance would have suffered. Grey's brilliance was giving a fantastic performance while suggesting a weird, eccentric sexually-charged Bacchus/Pied Piper who was fun to watch but was leading the audience down a very dangerous road. | |

| "It's simply an excuse to cast a "name" without regard to vocal talent." You may recall that the original production cast Jill Haworth who was not a name, nor were her replacements. So, the fact that it is an excuse to cast name actors doesn't really hold water. Of course, those were the days when producers relied less on names than today. But, the original concept had nothing to do with "name" actors and much to do with Sally who was a second-rate talent in a crummy club. | |

| Why not then just see the play? I agree that I want the role to be well acted too but at $150+ a ticket, I expect a good singer, dancer AND actor in every role. Of course, certain roles aren't necessarily written for a strong voices. I'm fine with a well acted and not too beautifully sung Henry Higgins. But would I want an Eliza who can act like Judi Dench but sing like Elaine Stritch? No thank you. | |

| But Jill Haworth sounds wonderful on the recording. The original show didn't add "Maybe This Time" and "Mein Herr". It only had her singing "Don't Tell Mama", "Perfectly Marvelous" and the title song (and a reprise of it). It's not a great voice, but it is tuneful and even just by voice alone, captures the essence of this young English girl who is putting on sophisticated airs yet can't really hide the fact that she's really not who she is trying to be. Unfortunately, Walter Kerr's original review knocked Haworth's performance, but people who had seen the show said that he was dead wrong, and that she was actually superb! | |

| And then they cast Judi Dench in the London production - and again, it's not as if there was nobody else available. It depends on the role. I don't particularly want to hear an Eliza Dolittle who can't hit the high notes - but pretty much anyone can sing the role of, say, Desirée Armfeldt, *provided they can act it too*. During this 'Cabaret' revival's original 75-year run on Broadway (I'm kidding, but it felt like it), some very strong singers indeed played Sally Bowles. Some very weak ones did as well; the role works either way. That wouldn't be true of every role in every show - we saw in the film of 'Les Mis' what happens when someone who hasn't much of a voice takes on the role of Javert, for example, and it wasn't pretty - but it's true of pretty much all the leads in 'Cabaret'. | |

| I agree with you. Certain roles lend themselves to actors who can sing rather than singers who can act. LES MIZ needs the latter in the leads. It is not the case with Desiree which was specifically written for a non-singing voice. Eliza, on the other hand, requires strong singing (or else why dubb Audrey Hepburn, right?) Sally Bowles, at least in the original stage show, may have been able to get by with less singing chops but she does need to be able to sing. This revival adds songs written for Liza so this ups the ante vocally and thus the requirement for an actress who can sing. Anyway, I'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to shell out big bucks to hear Williams in the role. Maybe she'll get a rave from the Times like Melanie Griffith did in CHICAGO for her musical artistry. I'll save my money and rent the film version instead. | |

| Yes, I do think that is a problem in this version. "Mein Herr" doesn't necessarily require a great voice, but you want a good voice for "Maybe This Time," which, IIRC, was not written for Minnelli but for Kaye Ballard. | |

| Well, in this revival, last time around, the late, great Natasha Richardson *did* get raves from pretty much everybody, and she also got the additional songs from the movie, and as wonderful as she was (on CD, anyway - I didn't see her in this, although I did, when I was a teenager, see her in another musical), she didn't have much of a singing voice. The role - even the expanded role in this production - requires an actress who can put a number across. It does not necessarily require a great singing voice. | |

| |
| True. But there's a big gap between an actress who can sing and has the ability to put over a song and one who is lost in a musical. We shall see if Williams manages to put over the role as well as Richardson did. I have my doubts that she will receive the same notices in the role. Then again, this is simply not what I personally look for when going to see a musical. And as good as Richardson may have been in the role, I'll still prefer seeing and hearing Liza actually belt out "Maybe This Time" and the title song. Just as I prefer to hear Ethel Merman or Patti LuPone belt out the score of GYPSY over Tyne Daly. John Raitt over Michael Hayden in CAROUSEL. The songs are why I go to musicals. Otherwise, I'm just as happy seeing a play. Badly sung musicals do nothing for me, no matter how wonderfully acted they may be. All I remember is the bad singing, not the great acting. | |

| At least according to several accounts. Kander and Ebb suggested Minnelli for the original production. Masteroff did not because she did not seem like she could play British. Prince vetoed the idea of casting of her because she did not seem like she could play British and because she sang too well. | |

| "Prince vetoed the idea of casting of her because she did not seem like she could play British..." Minnelli performed the title song from "Cabaret" in her nightclub act in the sixties long before playing Sally on screen. She sang it in a pretty good facsimile of an English accent. | |

| It was at opening night of the Turner-Irwin Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? I had just passed the ticket taker and entered the Longacre and was going to turn to go up the stairs to the mezzanine when suddenly I heard an unmistakable voice behind me. I soon realized the owner of this voice was talking to an usher. This was said in her best little old lady voice. "Excuse me, I'm Elaine Stritch. I've got a seat down front but I'm a diabetic, and I was wondering if you could find me a seat in the back on an aisle in case I have to suddenly run downstairs to take a shot of insulin." Now that I've heard MikeR's story, and considering that she'd been a miatinee Martha in the original production (and later did an excellent BBC radio production of the play), I'm wondering if she was thinking, "I may want to make a quick exit from this." | |

| Thanks Alan. And, on the subject of Stritch--and a part I'm positive she never did--it was mentioned at the seminar preceding the MOST HAPPY FELLA dress rehearsal last night that Stritch very much wanted to do a part--presumably Cleo--for the opening of the original production. Not so surprising, she would not sing the high C that Loesser had written and asked for it to be transposed down slightly. Not so surprising, he refused and the rest is history. Never knew about this. Jo Sullivan Loesser was present but I believe it was Laurence Maslon, interviewing her, who basically told this story. Do you know anything about it? | |

| I think I've heard that Stritch was up for the role of Cleo, but I haven't heard anything more. I assume that even if Maslon said it was a high C, it wasn't. Cleo never sings a note anywhere near high C. It must have been the C an octave down from high C, which might have been a stretch for Stritch even then. B might have been about it for Stritch. | |
