| Re the Mendes CABARET. I was fortunate to see the original version at the Donmar Warehouse, and it was quite brilliant. Alan Cumming wasn't 'Alan Cumming' yet, so the performance was more in line with what we think of. No mistake - a lot of Mendes 'emendations' were already in place. but it was much more satisfying as a piece of theatre than the version that played for 72 years on Broadway. |
