Cabaret- A short review

I happened to be lucky enough to see cabaret last night and I thought the production was stunning. My first kudos must go to the production team as a whole and the fine direction by Paul Treasure of this impeccable cast. Tyler Jones as Emcee was so charismatic and witty that every second he was on stage was an absolute gift. He has a strong voice that only added to his sublime on-stage delivery. Breeahn Jones as Sally also had such a mighty and beautiful voice and was so controlled yet powerful in her delivery of the character. The rest of the cast was also highly impressive and a special mention is deserved to the highly capable Fraulein Schneider as well as the cabaret girls who allowed the show to be brought to life with their wonderful characterizations. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the musical Cabaret or simply theater itself as this show is a stunning example of what hard work and an immensity of local talent can accomplish. - Theo

And Frau Schneider was very convincing and made me shed a tear or two. I loved the cabaret girls individual characters. Very nice touch! You should all be very proud.
