Cabaret: The New Broadway Cast Recording 1998 Broadway Revival

Product description Used CD Review Natasha Richardson's modest Sally Bowles quite resembles originator Jill Haworth's, making Liza the anomaly. The new disc is splendid.... -- Entertainment WeeklyNatasha Richardson, as Berlin nightclub singer Sally Bowles, has none of the emotional neediness Liza Minnelli came by so naturally. Alan Cumming makes a suitably decadent Emcee, but without the undertones of menace mustered by Joel Grey. -- PeopleOn CD, as on stage, individual performances are a mixed bag. Some may not enjoy Natasha Richardson's vibratoless shout (her character, Sally Bowles, isn't supposed to be talented), though as a stylist she comes through well in "Maybe This Time." Alan Cumming's sexual Emcee registers almost too brilliantly: His highly inflected performance may not wear well on repeated hearings. -- USA Today
