I remember seeing the movie Cabaret in 1972 at the Co-op City theater. We thought, “musical, Liza Minnelli,” should be fun. I looked at all the shaken faces, including ours, afterwards. It was a story that really shook you up; and there are echos that are reoccurring right now.

I was just at the last preview night Friday 4/19. This production is stunning. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. The whole experience is amazing. I’ll never be the same. Bravo!

Jelly hater lol I wish I could see it.

Eddie Redmayne is fabulous. He can play any role. I love him. A strange note...I saw him in his neighborhood outside a couple years ago during the Queens jubilee. The American High school students I was with happen to notice him and got a picture of him. But we didn't go up and talk to him. We wanted to be respectful because that was his place to chill without tourists bothering him.

One of the best Musicals ever!!❤

This production is truly spectacular and so deeply affecting

Thanks to CBS for showing us this clip! Theatre lovers (at least this one!) are panting to see this production! Break a leg, cast members!! (That's theatre talk for any theatre virgins out there.)

And Bebe Neuwirth too!

I simply *CAN’T WAIT* to see this production!

I saw this production in London, it’s absolutely worth the ticket price. Beautiful, but also harrowing all at the same time (and the experience before the show is just amazing, definitely get to the theatre at least an hour before if you do decide to go to see everything!)

About 2 weeks ago, I was privileged to see this new production of "Cabaret". Eddie Redmayne, Gayle Rankin, and Bebe Weuwirth are spectacular, as are all the cast. I was drawn into the story immediately. So glad I attended this dynamic show.

I saw it May 1st and it was amazing and met Eddie after I saw the show at stage door he signed my playbill and took a selfie with me such a nice guy

Eddie is so beautiful and talented. 💓

Cabaret is one of the greatest musicals ever written, and I look forward to seeing it! And as a NYC bartender, I have always loved when Mo Rocca came by my bar years ago, he was such a fun presence!

It will be truly great with a cast like that ! and the revamping with the idea before you get into the theatre is brilliant.

Thank you for sharing this. It lit my fire for the day. It‘s 06:06 am here, I am going to the office for the last time before having to find a new job. Life is a Cabaret my dear …

I was in the August Wilson theater to see funny girl and it was a normal theater orchestra, mezzanine but after the refurnish for Caberet, it’s unrecognizable and it’s so beautiful

I am intrigued by this production, but feel it is so prophetic about our future, it will depress me even further, so I will probably stay away. On a happier note, the Liza clips reminded me once again of her magnificent performance in the movie.

Great musical, but the horror isn't merely just outside the Cabaret door, it's inside also, on a smaller scale, but most definitely inside, and growing.

I wish I could see this rendition of Cabaret.

I had performed in MANY productions of CABARET and always played the role of the Gorilla("If They Could See Her Through My Eyes")and loved it...such a great show! Break A Leg to the company of CABARET❤X

Wonderful ❤

Everything old is new again. Just a different location and victims.😢

I don't know why but I waited my whole life from Colombia to see this

Shows in the round are fantastic.

I've done this musical before and it's the best one I've ever been in

Liza's shoes hard to fill but this looks like a great production. Eddie so versatile, and post-Trump America confronts these decadence issues all the time. Good luck 🎉❤

I live here. I have several huge drawers filled with Playbills over 30 years of seeing Broadway shows. You name the show, the actors and I've seen it and met them. I waited after the shows to meet the actors and get their signatures. What to do with the signed Playbills afterwards? They all just sit in the drawers take up space and will be trash one day when I'm gone. So think of that, it's fun to have them signed and meet the actors, but keeping all the Playbills even with the autographs is kind of silly, what to do with them all? It's like being a hoarder, lol!

I saw the London Production last year. It was fantastic although much "darker" than the movie

I love Cabaret on every level. I hope Broadway does a revival of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui

Wow they actually show clips of him in the show-- something that simply was not done in the London production. I that because he feels more comfortable now or because i America that secrecy simply would not be allowed?

Theater in the round is not a new concept. Not that many years ago there were summer theater productions around the country of Broadway shows with the audience seated around the stage. Many famous and not so famous performers would "strut their stuff" in these intimate arenas. Happy memories.

Why change the name?

Because they've turned the theater into the Kit-Kat Club.

NOT AGAIN!! GEEZ!!!!

Seeing the film years ago was quite an experience. This new version looks interesting with the performers in the round but the costumes look very odd. In the movie Joel Grey as the MC in the film is appropriately wearing black tie, in this production, whoever designed the outfit for Mr. Redmayne should be fired.

Big fan of Cabaret. This, however, looks dreadful, with the exception of Bebe.

Lotte to Bebe!

This Emcee better be blue to dance! I’m tired of these revivals that discard the power that dance adds to this show!

So it's Gayle Rankin vs. Nicole Scherzinger for the Tonys.

This production (and its predecessor in London) seem to have lost the plot of the story. This specific cabaret isn't a "place of hope" where people on the margins can express themselves. It's a seedy place where people can indulge in frivolous indulgence while ignoring the reality of what's happening outside. The denizens' hope wasn't "sabotaged"; it was a victim of their willful ignorance and self-absorbed lives. I've talked with people who saw this staging in London. It seems to be less cautionary tale and more a mirror of the self-absorbed online world we inhabit but with little self awareness. From the numbers I've heard, the numbers are very shouty and , to my ear, inferior to productions from the past.

Maybe i will cuz i feel bad for ur guest under contract that have already been working hard but everytime u acknowledge me im doing it again. U obviously know im watching yet taylor swift is what i turned off friday n what i turned on monday. U R NOT CODE WORDING MY KIDS B4 SCHOOL. DO U HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT WAS NOT TO HEAR 1 SONG ALL WEEKEND???

The costumes look nightmare-ish

Natasha Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 did the same thing with their nightclub staging nearly 10 years ago. Not exactly radical and revolutionary. Definitely suits Cabaret though.

I considered booking this when it became available and did verify the availability of accessible seating, since that's what I would have been purchasing. The answer to your question is "yes" including the table seating in front. I ended up declining and so did not experience it, but have no reason to doubt what they were/are offering.

And here in the US it’s going to cost you a billion dollars. So if you are poor…. Maybe you shouldn’t even watch this.

Too decadent. The world that Cabaret represented invited repression.

Reviewed as "The Worst Broadway Show Ever"!!

A great musical. BUT all musical theater productions are just that. Individual productions. This looks and sounds like a terrible clown show. A money grab by producers. The actual original stage show was stunning. All the in your face BS pushes credulity I have no idea how large the orchestra is for this production. At $600 per ticket I will abandon this particular production.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING can EVER compare to the movie version of CABARET with Liza Minnelli and Joel Gray!!!!
