I don't know. I adore Jane Horrocks and Liza respectively, but...as an actress myself, I suppose I really enjoyed Liza's interpretation. She chose to play the opposite, and I respect that. Jane is playing the character as it is written, but sometimes, a spectator wants to see a unique perspective on the role. It is what makes that particular actor's performance so memorable. Anyway, I love Joel Grey and Alan Cumming, and again, they each interpreted their characters differently. Both marvelous.
If you are going by the movie version..this Sally wouldn't make sense. Sally is supposed to be a mediocre singer that works in a seedy club because she's not talented enough vocally to be in a more high class one. She covers her insecurities and mediocrity with false bravado, brashness and fantasy.
The film version creates a more sympathetic Sally, so at the ending one just feels sad for her lack of foresight and naivety. There's no real sympathy for her at the end of the musical, just for Cliff. Her hedonism and arrogance alienate her from the audience.
@TRWolf -- I agree. Granted, Sally should always be portrayed as someone who wants to be noticed and who's convinced that she's irresistibly seductive...but there should also be something faintly pretentious and desperate about her as well. Unfortunately, I think Jane Horrocks is being a bit too heavy-handed with the desperation -- her version of Sally comes across as someone who's really trying too hard to impress other people (and quite possibly not succeeding as well as she'd like).
Too bad "Don't tell Mama" was cut here and good to see that Bobby is a fellow-visitor of the Club. Which in my opinion makes more sense than him being a musician in the club, like in the dutch version of the same show. In that version Clifford went backstage to Sally's dressing room and met him there.
Ähm, cant agree^^ I ever saw it- even in this version- like Bobby is working in the club, cause in the full version of "wilkommen" they say he is^^ Besides, i realy cant stand that Bpbby, but Viktor looks sweet. *g*
@NightmaresDaydream Don't like this Bobby either. :-/ "Our" dutch Bobby looked more like the man with the white gloves standing on the other side of Victor :-)
@NightmaresDaydream I can find any videos just audio here on Youtube, but if you look up Hein Gerrits (because that 's "our Bobby's " name, you'll find clips of some other performances, if you'd like to google, there is also a fansite with pictures of Cabaret :-)
Thank you!! Thank you for posting the whole thing!! We saw it in NY with NPH's understudy. He was brilliant, but I had a very unhealthy attraction to Alan Cummings..I'm so glad I get to see him in this great role!!
Ahhh, I didn't know there were commercial breaks. I figured that they like censored a whole scene because they left out "The Telephone Song" didn't they? then again, I think that's just how Mendes directed it.
