Cabaret--commercial

[Michaelalujevic]

Wasn't Natasha Richardson Sally in the revival?? I'm almost positive she was

[englishlit]

@Michaelalujevic Yes, she was, from Feb 13, 1998 - Aug 2, 1998 according to ibdb

There's a regional production of this near me. I want to see it so badly. U_U

I found alan cumming at virgin megastore (when the branch in SF was still standing) and it was just me becoming alice following the white rabbit with him in there. What I did not know was he was searching for the bathroom that most of the time I could not find at the Virgin megastore and never been in it. It turned out he still remembered me some time after , whenever I see him here He says hello, he even ran into me with my mom twice some other times. Wish I could hang out with him someday

It makes me so sad that the whole 1998 play wasn't filmed,i have watched all of the one from 1993/4 and so much of it was changed in '98,

The world is simply unjust.

Thank you for sharing this,Very clear Very Lovely Picture Of The beautiful Alan Cumming

[DJsaxby16]

@DhaliaFrantic yes it was filmed, its here on youtube somewhere.

[DhaliaFrantic]

@DJsaxby16 the whole play from 1998 or 99'? I have seen all of the 1993/4 donmar werehouse production

[DJsaxby16]

@DhaliaFrantic It's the alan cumming version, its right in this suggestions box here

[DhaliaFrantic]

@DJsaxby16 That is the donmar werehouse taping from either 93 or 94,I have seen it but thank you!

[TheXxERRORxx]

did anyone notice the nazi sighn at 0:12 ?

[stephantom]

@TheXxERRORxx Well, the play is actually about the rise of the Nazi party. It's sort of like that movie "Swing Kids." But with a seedy dance/sex club instead of swing dancing.

[GDscissorhandedgurl]

Too bad you can't call anymore. I'd have those front seats in a heart beat, Oh yes!

[calloia567]

@atreyu749 and whats wrong with that??? I don't think there anything wrong with being gay!!:)

[MagnumStellarz]

I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT REVIVAL OMGGG

[MMLVER24]

[atreyu749]

[JenO293]

alan cumming <3

[bezzybecks123]

omg i still can't believe Alan is in that so funny this comercial

[Megadoodle]

Holy fuck. Memories.

[Capricaquarius89]

why was Natasha Richardson in the production for so little time? i didn't think she was in great demand in '98 (and i mean no disrespect). Was she just too expensive to keep longer than a few months? Well, Alan Cumming only stayed about a month afterwards anyway. I'd think you'd want to milk out a hit on Broadway as long as possible.

[MsRavingRae]

Oh man I was 6 when this commercial came out. Alex cumming used to scare the shit out of me

[RyeLady99]

I couldn't agree more

[errantheel]

I remember this commercial... :)

[hairspraluva]

who was Sally Bowles in that commercial?

[englishlit]

Jennifer Jason Leigh, I think.

[dmfahoome]

@englishlit Wrong! Jane Horrocks.

[englishlit]

@dmfahoome I wasn't aware that Jane Horrocks appeared in the Roundabout/NYC production. I know she did the Donmar production, but this is not a commercial for the Donmar production. I know that when this commercial aired, Jennifer Jason Leigh was in the production, hence my educated guess.

[dmfahoome]

@englishlit I understand your guess. But the woman in this commercial, I'm almost positive, is Jane Horrocks. I think this was just footage from the Donmar production because Alan Cumming was not in the B'way production for four years.

[englishlit]

@dmfahoome Interesting. This commercial aired during the 2000 Broadway on Broadway. I wouldn't think that the American Roundabout production would use footage from a London production from 1994 (for a commercial 6 years later), but what do I know. =) Seems to me Roundabout would "own" footage of JJL or Natasha Richardson (but not Horrocks) if they were using their archives. Looks like JJL to me, but by rights, it should be Lea Thompson who was playing Sally at the point (Sept. 10, 2000).

[dmfahoome]

@englishlit You are so right. Makes so much sense.

The narrator says 3 years...not 2 fyi.
