"...The other part of "Cabaret" is a plotted story, and this is where productions may wobble. Rothstein took no chances when he cast Sally Wingert as Fraulein Schneider, the landlady who falls in love with a Jewish fruit vendor (futzy James Detmar). The relationship of these two takes time to spool out. Here, Wingert and Detmar make the time worthwhile, in musical numbers that express their tender, late-life romance."

"...All told, I was blown away by Cabaret. The juxtaposition between the light, fun, raunchy cabaret in the first act, and the impending doom of the second act was truly stunning, in every sense of the word. Those with big musical numbers in the second act deserved rousing applause, but got none, because clapping for a song like "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," would've in essence been clapping for Nazism. I found myself thinking, 'This is just a musical-I should clap for that beautiful song.' But it just felt way too real and unsettling."

"...Kind words and kudos are also due to the small-but-mighty ensemble that completes the 15-member cast; to the seamlessly connected work of choreographer Michael Matthew Ferrell and designers Kate Sutton-Johnson (set), Rich Hamson (costumes), Marcus Dilliard (lights) and Alex Ritter (sound) and to music director Denise Prosek, who leads an enthusiastic and boisterous six-musician ensemble. Together, their efforts make "Cabaret" a compelling, cohesive and altogether watchable evening."

"...It works, and Kander and Ebb's music is timeless. The production (helmed by the inimitable Peter Rothstein with music direction by the estimable Denise Prosek) soars. The peformances delight. I and my lovely companion had a marvelous time at Cabaret, and so will you."
