Cabaret
PPP: Sally
★★★★☆ Worryingly funny
The uneasy relationship between politics and theatre is laid comically bare in James Ley’s Sally, the first in the new run of A Play, A Pie & A Pint from Oran Mor at the Traverse.
EdFringe22: Dance, Cabaret & Spoken Word
Dance, Cabaret & Spoken Word, made in Edinburgh at EdFringe 2022
Edinburgh’s theatre companies have come back strong after the pandemic with 116 theatrical productions at the Fringe including many new shows and a handful of returning favourites.
Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age
★★★☆☆ Mixed bag
Given the honour of closing the Edinburgh International Festival that so nearly never happened, Alan Cumming responds with his trademark gusto and skill. Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age at the Old College Quad is, however, an odd combination of the delightful and the infuriating.
Cabaret
★★★★☆ Have a Kit Kat (Klub):
Emotional truth and powerful staging make Bill Kenwright Productions’ touring version of Cabaret at the Festival Theatre to Saturday nigh unmissable.
Cabaret for Festival Theatre
New shows on sale for Festival, Kings & Studio:
A new tour of hit musical Cabaret, the last ever tour of the Richard Alston Dance Company and Leitheatre’s take on Cat on a Hot Tin Roof are among new shows going on sale at Capital Theatres.
Cabaret
★★★★☆ Chilling:
Chilling in all the right places, the revival of the award-winning tour of Cabaret starring Will Young as the Emcee feels as important a piece of musical theatre as it ever did.
Review – 1933: Eine Nacht Im Kabarett
✭✭✩✩✩ Musically sound
Dress up, take part and join in at Anke’s, the Berlin night-club created in Summerhall, for this politically-charged production set on 30 January 1933, the night Hitler became Chancellor of Germany.
Review – Cabaret
✭✭✭✭✭ Chilling and louche
A magnificently sordid energy runs through Rufus Norris’ production of Cabaret, staring Will Young as the Emcee, which plays at the King’s theatre all week.
Cabaret comes to the Capital
Edinburgh will be saying “Willkommen, bienvenue and welcome” to Will Young in October, as the touring version of the West End revival of Cabaret arrives in the capital.
Review – Cabaret
Glammed-up girls in scanty outfits provide the backdrop to the George Watson’s College production of Cabaret, but this is a show which successfully balances its looks with great performances and a strong political message.
