BWW Review: CABARET at NM Women's Club
by Jackie Camborde - Mar 15, 2022
Full confession: I was not jumping up and down to see another production of Cabaret. Chalk it up to Cabaret being the show that wouldn't die when I was in college - cast as a chorus member, it was a grueling rehearsal period and extended run, then we won American College Theater Festival for our region and had to come back early from winter break to recreate it, it literally went on for a good two thirds of my sophomore year. Some of the songs can give me PTSD. True fact.
BWW Review: CABARET Fits Theater West End's Vintage Vibe Like a Fishnet Stocking
by Aaron Wallace - Nov 23, 2021
CABARET and Theater West End are a match made in the heavens of art direction, so much so that it’s nearly a wonder they hadn’t staged it here til now. The plexiglass partitions even hint at the giant mirror that faced this show’s earliest audiences on Broadway — I caught reflections from performers and patrons on several occasions (including my own) and smiled in appreciation of the unintended nod.

by Angeles Diaz - Oct 15, 2021
El 15 de octubre de 2003 se estrenaba en la cartelera madrileña el musical CABARET en el Nuevo Teatro Alcalá.

BWW Review: LOOPED at Connecticut Cabaret Theatre
by Sean Fallon - Feb 23, 2020
On Saturday, February 22, I had the pleasure of seeing LOOPED at the Connecticut Cabaret Theatre in Berlin, CT. This comedy by Matthew Lombardo is based on a true story that took place back in 1965. Director Kris McMurray brings out the best in talented actress Kelly Boucher who stars as Tallulah Bankhead, as well as talented actor Chris Pearson, who plays Danny Miller. The stage chemistry between Kelly Boucher and Chris Pearson is comically brilliant, and further enhanced by James J. Moran, who provides live vocals from the back of the theatre, as Steve the sound engineer! The deliveries are sensational, from all three cast members, making all three characters completely believable. The facial expressions, body language, vocal tones and mannerisms displayed by Kelly Boucher and Chris Pearson, including their reactions to each other, are phenomenal, both staying in character the whole time, to the point in which as an audience member, it is easy to forget that you are not watching the real people who are being portrayed. The sharp contrast between Tallulah's over-the-top personality and Danny Miller's more professional and proper personality is where the majority of the humor arises. The audience was laughing all throughout the show!
