| Well, "Cabaret," in the original staging, started in the real cabaret, and then the real cabaret disappeared, as Sally stepped off the stage and the tinsel curtain came down, and she walked through it while singing into the downstage area in front of the curtain. This was the metaphorical cabaret area where "Two Ladies," "The Money Song," and "If You Could See Her" were also performed. Sally's move occurred after the Elsie section, when the pizzicato accompaniment started. By this point she had moved off the cabaret stage but was still in the literal cabaret set, singing at the bar in front of the stage. "Don't Tell Mama" was performed within the set that represented the literal Kit Kat Klub, which included a literal stage. "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" and the kickline were also performed downstage but in front of the famous row of lights, while "Wilkommen" and the finale utilized the entire stage with the mirror. The rest of the show, apart from these sections, was performed in representational or semi-represenational sets. |
