i saw the threepenny opera wednesday. cyndi lauper and alan cumming, how *could* i not go? plus it's a political comedic opera/musical. yayz.
i'm withholding additional commentary, for at least the time being, but will just say it's a great show. i highly encourage anyone with the means/opportunity to see it, to see it. i'm not sure how much longer the original cast will stick around. it just won a tony, so i'm sure they'll keep extending it for a bit.
note: the show is not for the weak of heart, those who can't withstand strobe lighting, or those who object to vulgarity (english or german).

Date: 2006-06-17 04:43 am (UTC)I saws Cabaret with the original revival cast (including mr. cumming), with Brooke Shields (who, by the way, can't sing or dance or act or look pretty now that she's had three kids - and I'm refering to the bags under her eyes, not her post-preggers pouch - but maybe that was just a bad make-up job?), and with a cast that had noone famous that I can remember, but did leave a nice couple from Wisconsin very suprised that it was, and I quote, "Different from the Liza version". What? Had they not read the book? The book is queer, the play is queer; only Ms. Minnelli herself changed the movie to be unqueer, even though it's still pretty queer imho. They were visibly upset. Dad and I laughed at them. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
blech, life sucks.

Date: 2006-06-17 05:15 am (UTC)they probably hadn't read the book. or looked into it. THE MOVIES NEVER CHANGE THINGS. duh.
blech indeed.
