Cabaret

Cabaret didn't get reviewed and it was too bad because the show was very good. The theatre that produced it had made enemies of the local reviewers by making them watch a particularly painful Auntie Mame only a few months prior. Offers of everything from lunch to lewd acts could not entice them back for Cabaret. Curt Holman of Creative Loafing did eventually see and like the show very much, though too late in the run to review it. A large portion of the success of this show goes to the choreographer, Jen MacQueen, whose enthusiasm, sunday-school-teacher sweetness, and filthy mind gave the dance numbers a really creepy pop that found its way into the rest of the show. I begged for a number in which the Kit Kat Girls were dressed like the Von Trapp Family and forced to strip for the audience but she drew the line --- which firmly landed me the title of "Most Pervy" with the entire cast --- and that's saying something.
