'Cabaret' Revival is an Expressionistic, Hypnotic, Smashing Must-See

Run to this revival and ignore the misguided critics who missed whole swaths of director Rebecca Frechnall's vision. It' spectacular.

Eddie Redmayne and the company of Cabaret (Marc Brenner) Rebecca Frecknall’s darkly spirited and remarkable revival of the amazing John Kander and Fred Ebb musical Cabaret, haunts as it moves with frenzy toward increasingly frightening revelations filled with understated, metaphoric violence. With book by Joe Masteroff, Julia Cheng’s choreography, and Tom Scutt’s breathtaking scenic, theater and…

FULLY one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen. I know maybe like three words of Yiddish in total, but I actually think having the whole production in that language is strongly to it’s advantage (the supertitles projected on the side of the stage help a lot). I think there’s an added level of… emotion (?) that is added on, which is interesting wrt the provenance of the story and of the show itself. It feels very true.

I think it can be easy for a show with really minimal staging to feel amateurish, but I think in this case, everyone on stage did a really wonderful job of making the really sparse furnishings work in creating a feeling of the spaces in Anatevka that these people have built their lives in.

The dancing was really beautiful. There’s that sequence in the bar/tavern during L’Chaim/To Life and then during Tzeitel and Motl’s wedding celebration that kind of blew my mind, seeing it on stage.

Steven Skybell is definitely my favorite Tevye

Willkommen and bienvenue to another round of anonymous Tony voters debating the merits of this year’s nominations, with Stereophonic and Hell’s Kitchen leading the marquees with 13 nominations each. Despite all the mothers, rock-and-roll doyens, and Waystar Royco employees trying to lure us to the Theater District, our two veteran Tony voters aren’t overly enthralled by the season. They think it’s one of the strongest years for plays in recent memory. But for musicals? Eh, maybe some shouldn’t have made the transfer from across the pond. And while Stereophonic and Merrily We Roll Along are destined for further greatness, the voters don’t think being a Hollywood star guarantees an acting trophy. Ahead of the June 16 ceremony at Lincoln Center, they weighed in on where they stand and why.

Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical

Brody Grant — The Outsiders Jonathan Groff — Merrily We Roll Along Dorian Harewood — The Notebook Brian d’Arcy James — Days of Wine and Roses Eddie Redmayne — Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club

Voter 1: There are three exceptional performances in this category. Brody and Brian are extraordinary, but my vote is going to Jonathan. His performance is the best of the year in any category, actually. He manages to make, on paper, a character who might be very unlikable and turn him into a complex human being who makes some pretty awful choices, and yet we understand the humanity behind those choices. It’s a staggering achievement.

Voter 2: My winner is Jonathan. That character is a total jerk the way it’s written, but he makes him completely sympathetic and it’s a beautiful performance. But I do want to say it’s an interesting list of names. I would’ve put money on Brian because that was an amazing performance. I probably would’ve predicted Eddie, even though it was a very divisive performance. I thought it was very stylized. I thought, Okay, you know what? That’s a choice. He was just sort of there for me, but I suspected he would get nominated because it’s one of “those” roles. Brody is saddled with two of the worst wigs on Broadway — he overcame them. The one glaring omission here is the star of Tommy, Ali Louis Bourzgui. That kid is a star. He’s so magnetic. I was enraptured from start to finish and I don’t understand why he’s not included.

Best Revival of a Musical

Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club Gutenberg! The Musical Merrily We Roll Along The Who’s Tommy

Voter 1: Merrily, Merrily, Merrily. I do think it’s disappointing that the one specifically BIPOC musical, The Wiz, was excluded. I’ll say that. I’m disappointed that it was snubbed. But for me, it’s Merrily in a walk. I really liked it downtown and I fucking loved it uptown.

Voter 2: Merrily. It’s always been my favorite. I know it’s the Stephen Sondheim black sheep show, but this is the best production I’ve ever seen and I think it’s the best production you will ever see. It finally works. There’s a lot of good you can say about these four shows, but Merrily is without question the one for me.

Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical

Roger Bart — Back to the Future Joshua Boone — The Outsiders Brandon Victor Dixon — Hell’s Kitchen Sky Lakota-Lynch — The Outsiders Daniel Radcliffe — Merrily We Roll Along Steven Skybell — Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club

Voter 1: This is another great category. I loved Steven and really loved Brandon. I thought both of the guys from The Outsiders were wonderful, but I’m all about Daniel. His delivery of “Franklin Shepard, Inc.” is award-worthy just for that song. Watching him grow as a stage actor has been a privilege. He’s one of the biggest stars in the world and he keeps coming back to the stage. In this production, he just takes it all to another level. It’s spectacular.

Voter 2: I’ll end up going with Daniel, but Steven, oh my God. I’m thinking about his performance and I’m almost crying again. Ron Rifkin won for that role in the last Cabaret revival. It’s definitely one of those roles that gets you noticed. But Tony nominators have had a habit of ignoring Daniel, so I was so happy they nominated him. He’s a fantastic stage actor. This isn’t a brag, but I’ve seen everything he’s done in New York on and off Broadway, and he gets better every time. His “Franklin Shepard, Inc.”? He’s singing the 11 o’clock number at 8:30. Come on. That’s a pretty tall order. Oh, I totally forgot about Back to the Future. I’m surprised Roger got in there.

Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical

Shoshana Bean — Hell’s Kitchen Amber Iman — Lempicka Nikki M. James — Suffs Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer — Monty Python’s Spamalot Kecia Lewis — Hell’s Kitchen Lindsay Mendez — Merrily We Roll Along Bebe Neuwirth — Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club

Voter 1: You won’t be surprised given all my Merrily love, but it’s Lindsay. She recently got married — Jonathan was the officiant and Daniel was the ring bearer. That’s how close they’ve become as friends, and that chemistry and love they have for one another is so evident onstage. Lindsay is really funny and sour; she oozes sarcasm, and yet she allows us to see the pain behind all the armor. In the final Merrily scene, we witness her innocence and her hopefulness in a way that I don’t think anyone sees coming. It’s acting at the highest level.

Voter 2: Even though I love Merrily and Lindsay here, I’m inclined to vote for Kecia for Hell’s Kitchen. I didn’t love the show, but she was one of the reasons I liked it. Oh my gosh, her voice. She anchors the show in a lot of ways. She’s also one of those actors who’s always been around and doing fantastic work. She made her Broadway debut at age 18 in Dreamgirls, playing Effie. This show is just another reminder of her talents. It’s not like we should give Tonys for longevity or lifetime achievement, but I feel like this is just another reminder of, Yes, Kecia is fantastic. That might put me over the top for her.

"Eddie Redmayne's Kids Are Singing Cabaret's Songs Despite Their 'Horrendously Inappropriate' Lyrics (Exclusive)"

"My wife, Hannah, is like, 'Really?' " the Broadway star jokes to PEOPLE.

By Dave Quinn, May 13, 2024.

Eddie Redmayne is raising Broadway babies, but they might not be quite sure what they're singing just yet.

The Oscar-winning actor opened up about the interests of son Luke, 6, and daughter Iris, 8, while speaking at the 2024 Tony Awards Meet the Nominees junket earlier this month.

"My children love the theater," says Redmayne, 42, who is up for his second Tony Award for his leading actor portrayal of the Emcee in the acclaimed revival of the John Kander and Fred Ebb's Cabaret, "And they love the music to Cabaret, because the songs are so memorable and playful, they sort of sit in your head so quickly."

Luckily, the two don't appear to understand  Cabaret's lyrics.

"Sometimes the lyrics are kind of more questionable," Redmayne says. "I was saying the other day that my daughter is sort of going around singing that song, 'Don't Tell Mama.' And all the lyrics are kind of horrendously inappropriate"

Redmayne shares Luke and Iris with wife Hannah Bagshawe, 41, whom he married in 2014. And as he jokes, she's not happy with their song choice.

"My wife, Hannah, is like, really? 'Don't Tell Mama' is one of the key songs? Come on. How about 'Don't Tell Papa?' " he says.

Despite the gaff, Redmaye is still hoping to sneak his son and daughter into the August Wilson Theatre in New York City to see his opening number.

"They haven't been to see the show, but I'm thinking of trying to sneak them into watch 'Willkommen,' " he says. "Because they've been such a part of this journey for me, my kids, so yeah."

The actor first played the role in the 2021 West End revival, which transferred this season to Broadway in a production that opened April 21. Directed by Rebecca Frecknall, it's officially called Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.

Gayle Rankin, Steven Skybell and Bebe Neuwirth star alongside Redmayne in the production. All four received Tony Award nominations for their performances, while the show itself is up for five other awards including best revival of a musical.

This is Redmayne's second time on Broadway, and second Tony Award acting nomination. He received the 2010 Tony Award for his role in Red.

"The Tonys, in many ways, changed my life when I was here with Red 14 years ago," Redmayne shares to PEOPLE. "So it feels completely wonderful to be back here. Cabaret has been a passion project for many years. The fact that we made it to Broadway was a huge thing, and to be recognized across the board by the Tonys means the world."

"And they're just magnificent, the actual Tony Awards," he adds. "It's kind of of unrivaled as far as being an entertaining evening. So it's thrilling to be a part of it".

The 2024 Tony Awards will take place on Sunday, June 16 at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater in New York City. Viewers can watch the show on CBS and Paramount+ beginning at 8 p.m. ET. Select awards will also be handed out on a preshow that will stream on Pluto TV.

Tickets for Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club are now on sale.
