I wonder if other people feel the same way I do.. In the 2 hour Cabaret show, Cumming and Grey were fantastic in "Willkommen", "Money", and "Two Ladies". Also in the movie, Liza was fantastic in "Life is a Cabaret" and "Money". But the rest of the play is not nearly as good. I think without those 4 fantastic parts of the show - this play is not so good. In a musical such as "The Sound Of Music", the show is great from start to finish. I feel "Cabaret" would be obscure if not for the emcee.
