Cabaret - Arriaga Theatre; Bilbao, Spain - 1992
Last Performance
After a quick review, I found there seemed to be extra songs, that
I haven't heard before, as well as a lot of it being staged differently.

Cabaret - Bad Hersfeld - 1995
Cast: Pia Douwes, Witta Pohl
Very clear video, first time I've seen the Emcee with a ponytail,
bit different show, as in some parts seemed to be toned down,
while others are just as raunchy if not more, also filmed in an outside theatre

Cabaret - Studio 54, Broadway - December 5th 1999
*Highlights*
Michael Hall (Emcee), Susan Egan (Sally), Michael Hayden (Cliff),
Maureen Moore (Fraulein Schneider), Victoria Clark (Fraulein Kost).
First generation, filmed from one of the back tables on the floor. FANTASTIC closeups and color,
and unlike most videos of Cabaret, the actors don't end up washed out. This is a different version
than the one circulating... it contains "Wilkommen" and a few other songs at the beginning by a
cast I can't identify, followed by the Michael C. Hall performance... this version includes all of the
song "Cabaret," as well as the scene following and a beatuifully clear capture of the end of the show.
The disc contains 30 minutes of scenes from various other musicals as well... "Cell Block Tango"
and "They Both Reached For The Gun" form Chicago, "In His Eyes" from Jekyll & Hyde,
"If I Cant Have You" from Saturday Night Fever (excellently performed by Orfeh), and
"Almost Paradise" from Footloose. I'm not sure who the cast members are in each of these shows.

much prefer the original show and James just doesn't cut it for me, as the Emcee
