Cabaret

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

fun...
drama...
glamour...
glitter...
all rolled into helluva musical...

two love stories set in the pre-World War II Germany... a young and an old couple, contrasting attitudes towards love and marriage...

the other characters in the Kit Kat Club added mischief, colour, humour and fun into the otherwise serious plot...

Fei Xiang was the star of the show... strong and powerful vocals... and boy, this man can dance too...

Emma Yong put up a good performance for her role as a Cabaret dancer... her solo performance of Cabaret near the end of the show was the highlight of the musical... powerfully delivered with lotsa anger and feeling in it...

Karen Tan's voice was a little stretched, especially during her solo performance...

the ending was too abrupt and could have been better... reminded me of West Side Story... there was no happy-ever-after endings... and there was no grand finale that's typical in most musicals...

for hardcore fans... there's a TV programme called Front on Monday night at 9:30pm on Arts Central... they are gonna feature Cabaret...
