That is a wonderful set you have there! I don't believe high schools should be doing Cabaret. I love it, but there are too many restrictions to do a decent rendering of it. Also, parents get mad, don't go see it, and then you lose a good portion of your ticket sales.
I can see how this is hard to do in High school lyrics choreography and dialogue would have to be changed and you guys did an awesome job at it thumbs up :)
Oh my goodness! I wish my high school would have allowed us to do Cabaret. We wouldn't even be allowed to be as sexual as this. We had to censor our production of Grease.
ew so did we... we actually used a pre-edited script i felt like i was in the 5th grade version.... i mean the stage production is already bad enough w/o being chopped up... o it was Terrible!
I've seen some productions without a good Sally. One just lately in Rockland County [NY]. They're all CRAP! Your director is very wise to hold-out for the "perfect" lead actors!

It's really easy to look past that this is a high school production, seriously. The choreography is so adorable, I've seen community theatres who didn't even have to worry about any sort of censorship that had less 'sexual' dancing in it.
THe person who got fired also OK'd it from the schools administration guy... it's cool tha tyou guys get to do that kind of shows without being worried baout that sorta thing.
I love the part where they are doing the hand clap games. I wish one of the two ladies was a guy. Because that is usually how htey do it isn't it? And it is more comedic especially because the guy is doing falsetto the whole time untill in a low voice welike it comes out it is sooo funny! But good job for an HS a school in our area did Cabaret and the director got fired because of it.
As I wrote many months ago.. The original script had 2 females. Mendes changed it for his slutty revival. This is a HIGH SCHOOL, so the gender remained XX & XX.
As far as getting fired.. the school's administration ok'd CABARET before the director started rehearsals, so his ass was covered.
although the set and acting style was not that of the original; this is one of the best performances i've seen for this. i am searching youtube for the original but finding all these stage acts

Woot! Fabulous! Best highschool rendition I've seen, and better than some colleges. Yeah, seriously, y'all did a great job with this. I clapped when it was over. Lol.
Oh my god... This is REALLY good!! I mean, high school students, to be so comfortable with eachother for a sceene like this. I think it is a VERY good production! :)
This is messed up - Two Ladies is with a guy and a girl - thats the point of the song - this destroys the whole point of the musical. Why are schools still scared of the GAY ISSUE - damn it to hell this production sucks!!!!
Don't state emphatically what you don't know! Kander & Ebb wrote this song for a male Emcee & TWO females [typically scripted for Maria & Rosie]. Mendes' revival changed it. This school made Cliff Bradshaw TOTALLY GAY, no holds barred! Are you daffed? - This issue is NOT "the whole point of the musical" There is a-hell-of-a-lot more to the piece. Geezzzz!
You're judging this entire HS's show by viewing a lousy 3 minute clip.
As with the revival... Bobby moves in to kiss, but Cliff turns way. Then at the end of the scene, Bobby says, "This is Berlin. Be yourself," but unlike B'way [Cliff running to Bobby, and they kiss], this school went into a blackout. Thru dialog in the earlier part of the scene, it was made clear that they hopped into the sack together!
Lol, I love how he sounds awesome while not really even trying to sing:')

Why is there a goat sound if there's no goat fucking from the original choreography? It makes no sense in this context.

My teacher wanted to do Cabaret as well, and we had some Sallys but we have too many Mormons in our community who would of revolted.

This is really good, even the substituted lyrics fit well...it's like a cleaned up Cabaret, but more than the average HS production.
Bravo.

I thought this was fantastic. Cabaret in general is risque for HS.
I have to admit I like the Rauchy version but as I said it's fantastic even if it's PG ;D

As much as the local HS would love to do this, the musical director (I spoke with) had fears the parents of the girls would spaz (ha-ha).
