Negative Positive
Title: Easily the best cast recording of the past two years!
Review: I've seen the Broadway production of this absolutely amazing show several times and this CD does an excellent job of capturing the sirit of Kander and Ebb's most impressive piece to date. It is, however, certainly not a substitue for the show itself, which by the way, if you live anywhere near the Boston area, I highly reccomend seeing the current tour over the New York version. The talent is simply so much better...or at least it will be in a few weeks when Alan Cumming leaves. Norbert Leo Butz (from Rent) is incredible as the Emcee, as is Barbara Andreas as Fraulein Schneider. Teri Hatcher was an amazing surprise as Sally Bowles. She's not quite as good an actress as Natasha Richardson, but a MUCH better singer and overall better performer, in my opinion. I heard her sing "Cabaret" for the second time last night and can honestly say that she sounded almost exactly like Liza Minnelli. See the show and buy this CD!!
