I saw Cabaret a year or so ago when Aimee Lou Wood starred. I rate her highly as an actress (she’s currently brilliant in The White Lotus on TV) but I didn’t feel she carried the role of Sally Bowles. I was a bit underwhelmed by the production overall. The best performer when I saw it was whoever was playing the landlady. So much depends on the casting.

Yes both times Mrs Scneider’s story with her Jewish fiancée was the most affecting
I loved this piece.
Bob Fosse is my favourite choreographer of all time. And his mention caught my attention to read the whole article, I am glad I did.
