There were more changes than you speak of. Big changes. The biggest was that Sam Mendes put us (the audience) in the cabaret . In the original, the cabaret (including its patrons) is onstage and they sing “The Telephone Song”which was cut by Mendes. By the end of the show, the patrons are wearing swastikas. You and I in the audience weren’t so the story is affected. Also different was the conception of “Tomorrow Belongs To Me” sung by waiters in the original. Not a boy on a record player. “Meeskite” was also cut. All these cut songs affected the book even if many of the the lines were intact.
Then, of course, there is the movie which is an entirely different story. But I don’t hear anyone say “If they hate the source material, maybe they should have written their own show.” |
