This gem belongs in every collection!January 27, 2015By Alan H. (San Francisco, CA)See All My Reviews"SO HAPPY TO HAVE ArkivMusic TO FIND THIS TRUE GEM. READING CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD'S 1960'S DIARYS ALERTED ME THAT HE ENJOYED THE LONDON CAST PERFORMANCE MUCH MORE THAN THE BROADWAY CAST. THANKS ArkivMusic. CAN YOU FIND THE LONDON CAST OF "NO STRINGS"?"Report Abuse
The OriginalJuly 2, 2014By zelda a. See All My Reviews"This recording really sounds the way Cabaret should - much better than the overly larded and sentimental movie scoring, this is the tough and wonderfully orchestrated music that Kander and Ebb wrote. Outstanding are the MC, Judy Dench is the best Sally Bowles, who should of course be English since she's "the toast of Mayfair". The Nazi song, "Tomoorow Belongs to Me" is beautifullly done and chilling in the reprieve. Includes songs that were left out in the recent Bway production with Alan Cumming."Report Abuse
HAPPY MEMORIESJanuary 27, 2013By Martin Duncan (London, London)See All My Reviews"In 1968, I was a student on the Technical Course at The London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art in London and was assigned as a student Assistant Stage Manager to this production, from first day of rehearsals to First Night. The production was a transfer from Broadway and Hal Prince arrived after the first two weeks to preside over the production. I had to go out to Soho and buy the cigarette holder that Judi Dench would use in the show as Sally Bowles; I was even allowed to sit 'on the book' for some rehearsals. I am just thrilled that this recording has been reissued again - Judi Dench was heart-breakingly vulnerable & sassy as Sally Bowles - and the whole cast were a delight. It was a privilege to be a tiny part of it."Report Abuse
