My darling niece Sandra turned 21 this year and I wanted to do something special for her. I asked if there was a show on Broadway that she would like to see. Without hesitation she said “Cabaret”!! Because, well,”In Here Life Is Beautiful”.
She was so excited to see the super talented Emma Stone playing Sally Bowles and of course the most fabulous Alan Cummings as the Emcee at Roundabout Threatre Company Studio 54. The theater is turned into the Kit Kat Club with small plates and drinks available inside. So cool!
We sat in the orchestra section at a table for 4 which we shared with a lovely mom and daughter. The daughter had played the part of Fraulein Schneider in college. Sandra had played the part of Fraulein Kost in high school. The only photos allowed are during intermission.
The show was electrifying and I pray Cabaret stays on Broadway forever. I will never get tired of hearing this story because sadly it remains still very relevant today in every country one way or another. We must always be reminded to let all people live and let live. Love and let love. Life is a priceless gift given to us all from God. We must never forget to stop, look at ourselves and take inventory of our actions, thoughts and words and re-adjust when necessary. Let’s not forget.
