Why haven't we seen a film adaption of this Cabaret production? Honestly, with Alan Cumming being famous and Emma stone proving herself musically this version of Cabaret could really be successful on film both artistically and financially.
My dreamcast would be Alan and Emma as The Emcee and Sally and the rest of the 2014 revival cast reprising their roles as well.
A Broadway producer aspiring teenager from the western suburbs of Chicago.

I was just listening to the recording of the 1998 revival and was hit hard by Cliff's closing lines in the finale:
"There was a cabaret…and there was a master of ceremonies. And there was a city called Berlin. In a country called Germany. It was the end of the world. And I was dancing with Sally Bowles, and we were fast asleep…"
I did "Cabaret" a few years ago with a locally respected actor as Cliff who, unfortunately, could not sing a lick. His verse in "Perfectly Marvelous" was played somewhat for laughs, and then he gave a spoken rendition, somewhat like Shatner, of "Don't Go." It wasn't all that effective.
What WAS effective was his speaking, rather than singing, the "Wilkommen" reprise at the end of the show. Rather than simply singing us into the final hallucinogenic flashback sequence, his speaking seemed to be less remembering and more writing, bringing the show into a full-circle not of audience culpability but of creative reconstruction.
