You know how some people are born to do something? Mason Alexander Park was born to play the Emcee. Brilliant.

That's how they are making us come back for season two of The Sandman. We need MORE of Desire! There was not enough. I am not gunning non-binary or anything like that (even though I am one myself), but we need more of this character! Now, you know if they prefer him or they? I prey it's he. Cos I am okay with she cos that is my bio sex, that is a matter of fact and I can't ever change. There's a love yourself aspect in that some people miss. Then again, I also don't care if people call me he. But "them", yeah no. The only people historically who was referred as such where kings and queen. In some languages at least. So at least can you understand why some languages won't refer to non binary as royalty? lol

@@nicoled1667 Mason is a great Emcee. From 1970s till the late 90s, in road casts, off-Broadway and college-mounted revivals, The Emcee’s seemed very beholding to Joel Gray’s. Since 1999, the Emcees I’ve seen have channeled Alan Cummings. Here, Mason winks to both Alan and Joel, but creates an altogether new character- one that is as smarmy as Joel and owned as much as Alan’s, but is a campy new creature. This one does remind me of my dowager Aunt Doris, who never married but lived with “Aunt” Willa all her life! Beautiful work by the cast. I would love to see this production.

Im beginning to think I have watched this video an unhealthy amount of times lol. I have never seen this show performed like that, I wish I could see the whole thing! And this Emcee is great.

Rivals the performance from Alan Cumming. Really does.

I REALLY enjoyed Mason's version of the Emcee tremendously. A very nice change and one that was long awaited too. Perfect!

Just a pure natural talent, this one. ❤

I saw Cabaret in the West End recently. It won 7 Olivier awards and is widely regarded as the best show in London. This version of Wilkommen is very similar to theirs and that's a real compliment! Looks like a great cast.

Wait, this *isn't* Allan Cumming?! I've watched this like four times already, I legit thought it was him! This guy is fantastic as well.

Saw them do this in London... Man, if Cabaret didn't need huge box office returns to stay open (i.e. why Eddie Redmayne is coming back), I would without hesitation proclaim "MASON ALEXANDER PARK FOR EMCEE ON BROADWAY".

This is legitimately the best Emcee performance I’ve ever seen, and I love Alan Cumming and Joel Grey.

Just saw this randomly. Mason does a great job! They really made the part their own.

the makeup is divine oh my god

Just when I thought I couldn't fall in love with Mason Alexander Park as an actor/ess any more, I find this! Oh, they are so wonderful! As another commenter said, they've struck a lovely combination of Alan Cumming, Joel Grey, and their own je ne se quais

Best Sally ever,

omg to think they'd be playing the emcee in the westend in a few years! so cool how they took some parts of this one and left out some of it, too. also this costume is so cool!

The Olney Theater is this little place outside of Rockville, MD ( outside of DC). But their productions are so good for such a little place.

ITs nice to see a production that is not just a rehash of the 1996 revival. Yay Imagination!

Perfectly act!!!!! Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 from GREECE!!!! utube CABARET JOHN BAVAS

The performances. The aesthetics. I’m in love.

They're my favourite emcee I think

Alan Paul - I knew you were going to be big back at French Woods. I really did. This is stunning.

He seems like a good fit, he really pulls it off. Makes it his own.

日本人です。映画版のみしか観ていませんが、こちらの字幕をみると…やはり、改まってセリフの素晴らしさがわかります。

Proud of my local community theater coming up in the ranks. 🥰

"Look at him blow!"

After seeing this vid, Joel Grey and Alan Cumming as the MC: Do I have to choose? The three are great each is his/their own right. Just three awesome takes on a creepy, funny, straneg character as the MC.

Holy shit, I badly want to see this production in its entirety now! What a fantastic Emcee!

What an amazing performance.

This was so great! Mason is an even better Emcee than Joel Grey! I absolutely adored their performance here. I just wish I could see this entire performance!

I wish I could've seen the whole performance, this is wonderful!

Flash forward to 2022, Mason is now playing Desire in Sandman on Netflix! 😈🦹🏼

Nicely done! The choreography/blocking was quite inventive to fit the theatre in the round. And the singing whilst standing on the chairs! I repeat, nicely done.

The MC was Desire on The Sandman and they are amazing!

They (Mason) are the best emcee ever, imho. Brilliant

Bravo!!!
