| For what it is worth, London has seen at least 2 CABARET revivals since the Sam Mendes Donmar production: - a 2006 production at the Lyric that was mildly successful (ran nearly 2 years) and - a 2010 production at The Savoy that ran around 10 months Despite that, this recent production has been enormously successful. I think the over-production of the show and overkill of the 'experience' is what may have turned Bway critics off. London critics may have been keen to cheer as it opened in the midst of covid when critics were putting their knives away in the interest of drawing audiences back to the theatre. That said, it will likely be critic proof. It does offer a change from the usual Bway experience but for a show that has the rise of Nazism at its core, is this really the best way to present it? I find it vulgar in all of the wrong ways. |
