"There’s nothing quite like the power and the passion of Broadway music. "

No good can possibly come from using this vast wasteland of error and deliberate deceit. You should get off of it and warn others away. You should make sure your children and grandchildren know what a corrupt and morally bankrupt institution it truly is.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
"It does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are 20 gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket, nor breaks my leg."
-- Thomas Jefferson
Coach Bob knew it all along: you've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed. You have to keep passing the open windows. (John Irving, The Hotel New Hampshire)

Hope, when you meet people like that in person, they are often quite nice and almost painfully shy. (I have never met Joe, so can't say for sure.) Somehow the anonymity of a message board - which allows people to post without even revealing their own names or even correct gender - empowers some to spew out all their pent up hurt and frustration by mocking others.
However, your original post did leave you wide open because it revealed your own insecurities - having bought tickets to the show you obviously knew nothing about and posting here to ask "how bad would it be if I just blow it off?"
You then claim to have sampled a few songs (what, did you listen to 30-second clips on Amazon?)and used that as a basis to judge a show.
When I first read you post I thought it was a joke. WHY would you buy tickets to a show you knew nothing about? And why would you seek direction from a bunch of total strangers as to whether you should go or not? (People here could have told you that CABARET is an awful show not worth wasting your time with and you would have missed what turned out to be a good show.)
Better to phrase your question asking what people here think are the show's strengths and/or weaknesses. That would at least generate some thoughtful responses.
The ONLY way you will ever know if you like a show is to go see it. Or, at least, get the original cast album...listen to the score and read the synopsis. You should also find out about the core shows that are important and worthwhile. A two-time Tony award winner (1966 and 199
that has played over 3,000 performances on Broadway would seem a no-brainier.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
