The first time around, I thought Cumming's performance as the Emcee was heavily driven by his sexuality. There was something magnetic about it and you would almost feel the attraction in the room between audience and star. This time around, he's not amping up that part of his performance. He's definitely improvising a lot more (most of the intros of the Cabaret girls in "Wilkommen" are completely different now), and at moments I felt there was a knowing wink behind his performance, which I don't think was there before. He also got laughs in spots this time around that I never saw him get the first time around, most notably before and even during "I Don't Care Much," and I think that was largely in part to the lighter (almost goofier) atmosphere he is setting up this time around. Again, it's still a performance for the books, but it has changed some. Not better nor worse, just different.
