The thing people don’t realize is that the characters were supposed to be bad performers. And the EMOTION here is almost heartbreaking. I’d rather emotion over pretty. ❤❤❤

I feel like Emcee is free to be a good singer since he's supposed to be charming the audience into a trap. Sally is definitely meant to be mediocre/bad though

Saw his final performance of the original revival at Studio 54. To this day it remains the single most mesmerizing performance I have EVER seen. I couldn’t take my eyes off him the entire show. Incredible experience, his talent is beyond extraordinary.

I saw the final performance in 2015, Sienna Miller as Sally, same result.

This man and the entire Cabaret recording kept me here when I was a young queer kid. My life was fucked up, but I had my Cabaret cast recording. That was enough. Auditioning for this musical tonight. My favorite role.

1:54 .. never tell me this man can’t sing .. this is literally the most heartbreaking thing i’ve heard somebody sing before .. he has to say that he doesn’t care if he’s left .. he just has to .. he has no other choice .. but we can’t tell if he had the choice or not if he would ask them to stay or not because he doesn’t have a choice to .. so gutwretchingly heartbreaking and beautiful .. i love him and this song more than words can explain

His voice is gorgeous here!!!

The way he desperately reaches out during the “if we touch” and slowly forces himself to retreat his hand during the “I don’t care.” Ugh. The details 2:02

I never get tired of this song, regardless of the meaning it has. Mr. Cumming has a wonderful voice and his acting skills make me jealous >. I hope to someday be half as good a performer as he is. :)

Easily my favorite song in the show.

I have always interpreted the Emcee as the human representation of Germany and Berlin through the point of view of people who didn't support the jews and the countries transition in to the Nazi regime

Ah, dont think so. In the 1993 filmed revival-London UK Donmar(?) Production, the ending he is wearing the inmate pajamas, and in the production, there are 3 emblems on his shirt. Star of David-double yellow trangles-the pink triangle-queer-and the red one is for communist. They decided to drop the comunist one when the show opened on Broadway, because most Americans had no idea what it symbolised and confused the audeince.

I think he's both a character and a representation but not so much of germany and more of the diffrent view points presented through the other characters in the musical.

Hey, do you have marriage or the reprise of tomorrow belongs to me from this performance?

what difference does it make?

Does anybody remember who played the Emcee when Molly Ringwald was at Studio 54? Was it Cummings?

@alexanuchid Who? The actor or the character?

Hola. Soy Laida Etxeberria, profesora de danza musical en la Escuela de Artes Escénicas TAE en Donostia-San Sebastián. He visto que te han restringido el video de WillKommen de Alan Cumming. Estoy intentando recuperarlo para poder trabajar con mis alumnos y no lo encuentro. ¿Habría posibilidad de que me lo puedas pasar? O sepas donde lo puedo conseguir? Por otro lado agradecerte la recopilación que haces de Cabaret y Alan Cumming, para mí no ha existido nadie que lo intérprete como el, y la coreografía me parece espectacular, la mejor de la historia. La tengo sacada paso a paso con cada gesto y cada movimiento, por eso necesito el video. Ojalá puedas contestar a este mensaje. Gracias

Does anyone know where this was performed? maybe an awards show like the Tonys?

The makeup for Emcee includes painted on bruises and scrapes/scratches, like most of the characters who work in the club. I thought they were tattoos but then I remembered the other productions and what the real Cabaret crowd did. They were generally equal rights activists and got caught in or participated in riots and had more than a few bruises. Cabaret performers were also targeted and beat up by people who supported the Nazi party, because they didn't fit in with that kind of crowd. Many Cabaret artists died concentration camps. I suggest you watch the documentary Alan Cumming made of the the real Cabaret of that time, "The Real Cabaret." Plus the other half of being a Cabaret performer can give you bruises/scratches... because those are, um...workplace injuries.
