Cabaret first opened in
February 1968 at the Palace Theatre with Judi Dench as Sally and Lila
Kedrova as Fräulein Schneider. Since then there have
been three major revivals in London at the Strand, the Dormer Warehouse
and at the Lyric. with Sheila Hancock as Fräulein Schneider
winning a Laurence Olivier Award for best supporting actress. This production closed at the end of June 2008. The theme of nazis and cabaret ladies seems to be very popular - especially when their line of work has them in sexy 'costume' which seems to relax the audience as well as the actors. Marguerite at the Haymarket is a good play to go to as it is about much the same thing - set in Paris. |
