Cabaret. Part one.

[rachelirocks]

i cant imagine who awkward it must have been for alans parents when they saw there son do this

[emmamartini]

love it!

[missnodrama11]

Ok...now that Christmas is over, I can get my Cabaret fix! lol!

[gl7371]

Is it just me or does he look like Marylin Manson?

[totaljekkie]

I have an audition for this next week in San Fransisco! STOKED! my favorite show of all time. Hey whats with the bruises all over the MC? I have never noticed that...?

[TheConstantSinner]

@totaljekkie He was beaten by his lovers..As Alan Cumming said he is a rent boy

[mygirlfriendhasglass]

@totaljekkie In an interview, I believe Alan Cumming said he wanted the Emcee to have track marks all over him, since he believed the character was a huge druggie.

[whoslistening2u]

OMG, he's so effing hot....

[TankGirlBOOM]

What a sexy man..

[Misducky03]

Love it, Alan totally stole the show... Even do I like Jane Horrocks, you verily realize she in it, because Alan does an excellent performance...

[WhinnieLover28]

My school did this with some British kids from kent england and our girl looked horrible compared to the legit cabaret girls!

[c3s0fr3sh]

@WhinnieLover28 well i am in cabaret right now im sure u go to nkhs and every cabaret club during this time period had its own distinct look and we weren't trying to copy another productions image our particular club was one that goes from riches to rags because of nazi influence just sayin btw

[WhinnieLover28]

@c3s0fr3sh I do.

[Ryuzaki40]

This is my second time watching through this. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS UP!!

[Stormehkitteh]

LOL My school did this play, and.. i'm stunned by how different it is already. The school's cabaret girls looked more like legit cabaret girls, but i think i still like this version more~

[DreadfulAngel666]

I LOVE ALAN. everytime i see that man... *sigh*

[1a1a2s3d4f5g]

Who wants to marry Alan?

[ThatGothicChick]

I want to "try" Alan Cumming....

[agenttheater5]

is this broadway or london? either way its way better than burlesque

[posthumorously]

@agenttheater5 I'm pretty sure this is the 1993 London revival cast. :) Before Alan Cumming went to Broadway!

[aibooon21]

すごすぎる。

[rebeccalafferty]

Alan Cumming is Scottish :D He makes me proud to be Scottish

[WithOurWings]

oh gosh he's just so perfect. everything about it gah

[jessica23claire]

Alan Cummings is an amazing Emcee!

[Lulubellwilley]

Alan Cumming's so perfect for this role.

Oh and he is HOT.

[yokolynne]

I love this!! Enchantée <3

[feroniasoleil]

what the hell is up and down his arms? bruises or needlemarks?

[johnozed]

It's a shame the version with Natasha Richardson was never videotaped. This si still great though.

[rhiready]

I have an odd fear of Mr. Cumming. I don't know why.. he just scares the living goodness out of me.

[hanfern]

Alan Cumming has mastered the art of being very sexual without being sexy... At least, in conventional terms. His portrayal of the Emcee probably isn't what most people think of when they hear the word... And yet... *swoon*

[MagikSpaceFries]

When I was about 13 (now 22) I was obsessed with Cabaret & Alan Cumming. I would listen to the soundtrack every single day for months. I still love Alan. I am so glad I have finally found this!!

[YoSafBridge1]

@MagikSpaceFries - When I was 13 I was obsessed with Alan Cumming as well.

But that's because I was utterly in love with Nightcrawler. My upbringing was less theatre-oriented and more 'you'll be a geek and you'll like it!'

I didn't discover Cabaret until far later after I got involved in Theatre in High School.

[arathcanjustdie]

I watch this almost every day, and if not, at least more than once a week/month. I am in love with Alan's interpretation of the MC. He is the embodiment of what I want in a man :3

[ShojIttoram]

is there a torrent of this?

[noreallyimactually18]

Not availible on mobile. life=over.

[theoriginalchrisjay]

one of the few instances where the original is eclipsed by a remake. AC re-invents the character geniously to fabulous effect. His version of "Two Ladies" far surpasses Joel Gray's in terms of sheer hot sexiness, and he projects such a fierce confidence in his role that wasn't quite there in 1972 (surprised?) JG's feminine elements were playful and almost silly. AC throws it in your face and makes you eat it up. His Master of Ceremonies would make a great stripper!!

[Thehouseoffail]

Alan is hot, but in that outfit he look like a prostitute for mimes.

[bobndmel]

ALAN CUMMINGs is awesome....and yes I would gladly do him lol

[Tai7978]

Got to see this live. God it was good!

[milkynightmare]

@djdatafreak Sally isn't meant to be able to to sing. The actress who plays her can sing wonderfully, but the character is meant to be not great at singing.

[1957arm]

Alan Cumming is so much better in the role of the Emcee than Joel Gray was. What a talented man. Much better intro than the movie version.

[JudgeJulieLit]

@1957arm Joel Gray and Liza Minnelli richly deserved their Oscars for their film Cabaret roles: their interpretations and talents were uniquely theirs. We're all richer for the variety of actors in and productions of any drama--we see a universe of possible interpretations and renderings.This Broadway Cabaret seems great--it more suggests the seediness and debauchery than prior productions in tamer times dared. Yet I can believe Jill & Judi were great & 'd love to see their Sallys & Cabarets .

[C9H9NO3]

Well, I just got a nose bleed @ 1:40

[Caradog93]

Sorry, but the trombone player... fucking hoooooootttt!

[misstweezers]

is it wrong that he's extremely attractive?

[ivesvari]

thank you thank you thank you

great!!!

[teacupfish]

Is there anywhere you can buy this? Maybe without the other numbers cut out even? I can dream, no?

[Thirty090307]

Been looking for this remake everywhere!!!!

Thanks por uploading!!

Worth the watch thanks to Alan LOL

[hipocloritodecalcio]

I swear to god, I am a lesbian, but this Alan Cumming makes me think twice.. Three times.

[barbaraaa96]

@hipocloritodecalcio

omg same with me!

[hipocloritodecalcio]

@barbaraaa96 Well, let's start a lesbian fan club for him! LOL

[luckey13chic]

Who is Cliff in this production?

[RCohen2299]

What's that thing he keeps doing with his hands, the one fist on his head, the other with splayed fingers above the first? Is that, like, symbolic of something, or just a weird dance move he repeats?

[kaikatana]

@RCohen2299 I think maybe it's to mimic the big, feathered cabaret headpieces.

[RCohen2299]

@kaikatana Ooooh that makes sense. Thanks!

[PrincezChloe]

My school production of this was way better! :O

[anacrimefighter]

I wish this was available on mobile device. I want to watch it terribly but I don't have a computer, just my dinky little phone. :o

[musicalfool]

Being a musican Myself as well as an actor does anyone else think it would be terribly hard to play after what happened at 4:54

[everystarrfallxx]

@musicalfool I do.

[GDscissorhandedgurl]

Jesus Christ. He is incredibly sexy.

[everystarrfallxx]

@GDscissorhandedgurl I concur.

[Kyli1234]

Anyone else notice the massive bruises on MC's arms?

[itsthequietones]

@Kyli1234 Yep, and those are intentional. Alan said he played the MC as a drug addict and former rentboy, so the bruises are all part of the act :)

[totaljekkie]

@Kyli1234 yup...

[StargirllLauren]

Is this version of Cabaret available on dvd?

[StargirllLauren]

oh dear lordy, Alan Cumming is sex on legs <3

[josh1492]

the cabaret girls are old ladies and ugly... and the cabaret dudes nipples are freaking me out

[hairlongguy]

@josh1492 well yeah, this is a shitty little night club in a shitty corner of a city in a shitty time. the point is that people tried to get their last kicks in any way they could. its why he keeps the joy going to avoid the truth allllll the way to the last second.

[timmy64]

@josh1492 Well, the venue it's set in is a seedy little underground club. You're not exactly going to get the cream of the crop.

[corinasaurusrex]

'willkommen to cabaret" i walk around school singing that cause its stuck in my head and its the only part i know

[clarinetchum]

I really like how the cabaret is very representative of Germany, how it seemed inviting mid 30's with its tourism and hosting the olympics. and how they are "happy" to have you in their country. I LOVE this musical for that very reason.

[loverofmusicality]

honestly, I seriously wonder why there's 11 dislikes...especially considering Cabaret's overtly scandalous...

[allyahinblack]

Ah! must find soundtrack. The songs have been stuck in my mind for days now

[jozm91]

Weirdly, I prefer blonde Sally Bowles over brunette Sally Bowles. I think the blonde hair accentuates her personality more, and sort of makes the atmosphere just a smidge less dark...idk, just a weird thought...

[DOLLiii3]

that guy creeps me out haha

[soylakekagalindo]

I think he is absoutly amazing, brilliant!!, but this version it's to censored :( I like the full version of the show.

[LolitaLexi]

If only Alan Cumming was touching my boobs....oh come on, your thinking the same thing!

[NightmaresDaydream]

Looked the 12 parts and... wow. Is this version available on DVD?

[justanotherme1]

Great cast minus their Sally. She drove me crazy

[narmolania]

I love it how the audience is like part of the kit kat cafe's clients with the red light lamps ont het ables XD (by the way... next fall, the theatre at my home town is playing Cabaret the msuical (this!) I am SOOOOO getting tickets!!!!! (too bad Alan cant be there XDDD ))

[theemoloversdream]

Stupid iPod touch won't let me watch this! This is my favorite version!

[RumbleGeek]

It's good, but slightly abridged. Alan Cumming was great in this.

[madgeandmj]

which part is m0ney m0ney

[madgeandmj]

which psrt is m0ney m0ney

[horerfandod3]

@madgeandmj there is no money song in this

[lalabella567]

Mein Gott. I would have KILLED to see this version live.

[TheJackieOKennedy]

Alan Cumming is the sexiest man I've ever seen.

[macube360]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa simplemente s demasiado genial XD

[codykingo]

Alan Cumming and Joel Gray are the best MC's ever!

[multiph]

is this available for a puchase on a DVD?! At least I haven't seen this one at the Dress Circle shelves?!

[Oiyuki]

Ok I have to say this. Who knew that a train whistle could be made sexy? I mean really look at him at the end there.

[dasfinks]

@Oiyuki Mr. Cumming knows how to handle that train whistle. At the same time, does it foreshadow (trains, cattle cars, to) death camps in any way? Just to go with the theme of the whole musical, especially the last scene!

[Oiyuki]

I'm keeping him. (whoa wait that's my line! I'm the excitable one! Not you!) I care not. I want him. (Well no duh I mean so do I but still don't suddenly get all energetic on me it freaking me out!) I apologise. I can not help it.

[101cats101]

alan cumming is epic.

[SaintorFiend]

man i love that guy XD

[Thegreenroomgroup]

OOOOH boy I've just been cast in this role.. cannot wait to see how they want me to play it!!

[GirLInSecondLife]

I think the chorus is playing it a little too ironical...It works best if it's just like they are the real thing brought back to life, seen through time. Not rolling their eyes at their own performance or trying to dance badly on purpose.

Cumming is perfect though.

[morwenmur]

Does anyone know why some of the lines are different?

[duffywoody]

@morwenmur

might be cause its aired on tv editing has to happen

[TheInfernalSpark]

@morwenmur Because all musical reimaginings change things. I've seen plenty of changes happen in stuff like Les Mis and Phantom. Word switches or changes. They're glaring sometimes I guess.

[thricecursed1]

That was magnificent! I wish could have been in that audience! };)

[Simplysims001]

Where can I buy this as a dvd?? I can't find it on Amazon.

[magicgal86ify1]

Does anyone know why he keeps doing that odd hand motion with his hands on his head?

[Simplysims001]

@magicgal86ify1 Choreography I guess ... :/ odd choreography ...

[dasfinks]

@magicgal86ify1 My guess would be that he is making himself look like a rooster, a male that shows off in the company of many females.

[magicgal86ify1]

Does anyone know why he keeps doing that odd hand motion with his hands on his head?

[horerfandod3]

A BIiiit?

[BookykindaWorm]

Oh gosh, Alan is soo good with this role I know if I was in that audiance I would be blushing the whole time! haha

[animegirl594]

whats the name of the first song the welcome one????

[FITTSMURFx]

@animegirl594 Willkommen?

[AnImmovableObject]

I think Cummings is very sexy, and I agree you cannot take your eyes off him in this part, but I don't find him sexy in this role, lol.

He's still awesome

[sabundisi]

HAHA....I dont its silly but : I WANNA TO HAVE SEX WITH ALAN CUMMING?

I mean who not ? =P

Do YOU wanna to have S*X with Alan then THUMBS UP ;D

[TheWhiterose82]

@sabundisi i'm a lesbian and i'd still have sex with that guy

[sabundisi]

@TheWhiterose82 Yea I mean -

Whatever you are - Everyone wants to *g*

[hallooburgergirl]

I´m not lesbian...but i would sleep with him too :D do you know his name?

[kokoricharmed]

@TheWhiterose82 Me too.

[teetertoter3]

@sabundisi Why censor it the second time?

[jlemler1]

I am in love with the Emcee as played by Alan Cumming... he is completely captivating.

[Lenora1854]

Alan, you are the bomb.

[MadameMadHatter]

Alan Cumming always reminds of the kind of guy who would wait just beyond the light of a street lamp and just sit there...he is the creeper of creeps and I love him!

[Skateclark]

I wish he performed it just like this when he did it with joel, but no... he didnt...

[thejokerslastlaugh]

Why do we, as the new generations always think that what we've been exposed at present was the worthwhile experience? I think Alan Cumming's interpretation is great; he excels at portraying this new Emcee and is sheltered by the new concept in direction. I applaud both efforts, but NOTHING, no matter how good it is will ever top or compare to the original creation.

[thejokerslastlaugh]

@thejokerslastlaugh Why? Because the original creation encompasses all the genius of the original creative team. The conception of the original Cabaret was immaculate, unflawed. New interpretations are always welcome, but Joel Grey's Emcee cannot be topped. And in one word, Joel Grey's portrayal was incomparable.

[thejokerslastlaugh]

@chrissic21 Joel Gray originated the role on Broadway directed by Hal Prince and Choreographed by Ron Field. Later Fosse would take over and create a fabulous film that included Gray's Emcee because of it's mesmerizing qualities ON STAGE. I NEVER referred to the movie.

[Defying89gravity]

So creepy! and sooooo good!!!!

[blackleatherrain]

I have to admit I'm not at all fond of the line changes while he introduces the girls. I wonder if the changes were because it was on television?

[DavidEmage]

Joel Grey and Alan Cummings both are wonderful Emcees, because they both are two distinct characters. I love each interpretation. They rule in my eyes.

[KatherineLupin]

any chance of getting this in DVD?? 

[jugegamo]

@KatherineLupin I want it tooo!!!!!Pleaseee Info about a dvd of this presentation!! pleaseeeeeee!!!!!!

[golemssoul]

I wish they hadn't cut so much ;~; I wanted to get an Idea of what Idaho State's upcoming performance of Cabaret might be like

[kalebknecht]

His mere presence on the stage is AMAZING. i think the guy down there said it best: He's like an androgynous satyr.

[b1a2y3k4a5y6]

i think its the white skin dark hair lips and eyes that just makes girls drool!!! XD Also the bruises and that stare alan has.....does anyone else want to be a cabaret girl now???

[thecrunge86]

EEEEEEEEE. I adore this. Yum

[b1a2y3k4a5y6]

*drool*

[argentinia]

so much sex in one man.

[thatswhatsheread]

AHAHAH WHAT?! im trying to imagine this as my first high school performance and i just CANT.

[Perpetiel89]

genious...

[IWillBeHers]

Did they cut out some characters? I notice Helga isn't there as one of the Kit Kat Klub girls.

[stephencassista]

His acting is perfect.

[Aberrant23]

I'm cuming it's Alan Cumming ahhh so sexy in this movie.

[Asperuaca]

This role works perfectly with Alan Cummings. He is actually bisexual. :)

[JazzX15]

very very sexy alan i want a kiss too  where is my kiss ? :(

[enderfish001]

Has anyone ever seen or heard of a recording of Cabaret when Michael C Hall was the Emcee?  I haven't been able to find it anywhere :(

[timba666]

Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls is playing the Emcee in Boston this fall :D I'm so excited to see her <3

[RazelG]

@timba666 When and where?!

[timba666]

@RazelG Sometime in August, and somewhere in Boston XD The American Repertory Theatre's website has most of the info

[Sammydoodle14]

@timba666 I can't wait either!!!

[chickachickabombom]

THANK YOU for posting this.

[DrangoWings]

love it xD when he groped the guy playing the trombone?(i think it's a trombone...) his face made me giggle

[Crazychic112]

ALAN i luv this dude he amazes me

[shrubbmeister]

He sucks comapred to Joel Grey.

[mrpayaso9292]

Alan IS this Emcee...He draws my attention better than anyone else, even joel grey. But joel grey isn't bad either...just think alan is a little better

[XxXSmurFx]

That was dirty and sleazy and filthy and I adored every minute of it ;P

[ALIKJ09]

Absolutely genious! Sexy-sexy-sexy ALAN!!!)))

[reader55player]

I love Alan's portrayal. He's so sexy. Joel Grey will always be the original, but Alan's the best. He has this unique mixture of bizarre, gripping, hypnotic, evil, and sexy. Joel Grey acted with his face, but Alan acts with face, voice, body, and with the other characters. Also, he's pretty sexy.

[LaurenRoseUK]

i'm doing a 'mock' advertising campaign for this as part of my degree (creative advertising)...ive read the book (obviously) seen the film, and have been searching for a copy of this on a dvd...quite hard I must admit! Looking forward to finishing watching though...alan cumming is class!! x

[geordyskin]

does anyone have the entire alan cummings show of this... I would love it on DVD. please email me

[horerfandod3]

alan cumming is awesome in this role

[iamLadyK]

5:58 i love that note

[horerfandod3]

they took down the sexuality forthis number. they also put in more. its kinda confusing to tell

[mspudds22]

Alan Cumming Is HOT!!!!!!!!!!

[RogueRocker1]

Is this production available on DVD?

[tlyoung88]

This is AWESOME. I got to find some time to watch the whole thing!

[reader55player]

Oh dear god I want to pay Alan Cummings to say gentlemen over and over and over again for me. I LOVE how his accent changes.

[PwincessaRae]

Oh trust me I would sel my soul to the taxman if he would get me Alan Cumming singing the whole cabaret soundtrack in person!!

[graciexoxo101]

omfg i would too... ohhhhhhhhh is it just me or is it kinda sexxyyy?? haha gentlemeeeeeennnn

[mrrawrlicious]

@graciexoxo101 kinda sexy? thats insulting..its orgasmic

[pmartict23]

@reader55player hahahahaha xD! he's soo hot isn't he? xD (this it ain't my account wahaha )

[b1a2y3k4a5y6]

@reader55player OH MY GOD YES!!!!!

[bezzybecks123]

WOT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE CROWD!?! they don't know how lucky they are I would kill to see Alan Cumming in person! <3

[pmartict23]

@bezzybecks123 is a very bored crowd!... and i can't understand why!!

[bezzybecks123]

@pmartict23 I no me niether

[perogie34]

@bezzybecks123 It's rude to yell or cheer while the actors are performing. That explains them being so quiet. ^^;

[abigailburton09]

i love alan cumming he a good actor

[RyJo]

where did this recording come from? any way I can get a DVD quality version?
