| I enjoyed quite a lot of Prince of Broadway for what it is was. But I'm wondering: I think they would have had a perfect opportunity to do "What Would You Do?" in the Cabaret section instead of "So What?" and it would have worked better as a standalone. What do others think? | |

| I really loved Ziemba's SO WHAT?, so I'd vote to keep that. I would have easily dropped the novelty number IF YOU COULD SEE HER, which isn't particularly well done and has little to say outside of the context of the show....I'd absolutely would have voted to substitute it with the very relevant WHAT WOULD YOU DO? by the way, just got back from Serenbe Playhouse's astounding outdoor CABARET, and it was one of the very best productions I have ever seen, including multiple visits to Broadway revivals and national tours. The staging was stunning, the cast was brilliant and, of course, the orchestra was.... beautiful. This company, located 45 minutes outside Atlanta in the middle of nowhere, continues to do challenging, wildly ambitious productions out in the middle of the fields. |

| "What Would You Do" would have certainly been an apt choice for our zeitgeist. And I have to say that for me, it's one of the most moving and emotionally packed songs K&E ever wrote (if not THE most). So my immediate thought is that maybe they didn't want to go that dark for the sake of this revue? I don't know. | |
