My only interest in a revival of CABARET would be an actual revival of the original stage version that no one does anymore. I want the whole club onstage. I don’t want to sit in it. I want The Telephone Song and Meeskite and Why Should I Wake Up. At this point, it would be revelatory. Encores should do it.

Great suggestion! The original version was such a groundbreaking musical for so many reasons. The score was a bonafide knockout back in 1966, especially "Meeskite", "Why Should I Wake Up", and the other song you cite. I love Fosse's film but I really regret never being able to see a staging of the original Cabaret. I second your call for an Encores mounting.

Hear! Hear! What a great idea. Ever since Chris became gay or bisexual, courtesy of Michael York in the film, we've lost that trajectory, the romance of Sally and Cliff. And "Perfectly Marvelous" is a great song. Yes. That would be a real treat. To see what it was before Fosse et al had their decadent way with it. How times have changed.
