hmmmm... I'd best do well on this one, or I think I'm going to need to crawl into a hole and cower in my shame.

7 out of 10. I should know better... but I admit that I'm not extremely well informed about the original production.

I miss Cabaret.

7 out of 10...I want to weep. Well, I didn't know the Lotte Lenya q', and I cannot believe I screwed up who first played Sally and when Maybe This Time was written....

8-10...I didn't know the one about Lotte Lenya, or the choreographer one. What a show! ::sniffle::

6 out of 10; i missed the Lenya one, the languages of the Emcee, and also the MAYBE THIS TIME one. But i would quibble with the "first portrayed Sally Bowles"...the title of the quiz was the musical, not the play. The first Sally Bowles in CABARET (as the quiz's title implies) was not the answer given as correct. The question would need a modifying word or phrase to elicit the answer given as correct.

*** If you haven't taken the quiz yet, DON'T READ THIS!!!***


I know by putting that it's going to make more people read it, but I tried....

tcoppola, the '98 revival program cites Christopher Isherwood's book, Goodbye to Berlin, as the main inspiration for Cabaret, but there is mention of the play "I Am a Camera."

From the program:
"One of Isherwood's most unforgettable characters, Sally Bowles, insprired playwright John Van Druten to adapt The Berlin Stories for the theatre. The play, I Am a Camera, was produced in New York in 1951, with Jule Harris in the lead role. A film version was produced in 1955. Then, in 1966, Hal Prince transformed the enduring work into the groundbreaking musical, Cabaret...."

This is also in the program (in reference to the origin of the play's title):
"I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, thinking... some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed."
~ Christopher Isherwood's
Goodbye to Berlin


Anyway, the question to which you're referring asks for the *original* source material. Since the book came first, I'd assume that's the correct answer.


hmmm... I haven't looked through my Cabaret stuff in a while. Inside the cover to the program, I have all of the articles about closing night, some pictures I printed out, and a bunch of other random Cabaret stuff. It made me really sad to look through it again.

In any case, I hope that was helpful. What a show....

you're welcome! I just realized that people taking the quiz shouldn't see that, though....

Posted: 4/13/04 at 7:59pm

1,430

of you have come so far

and the average correct score is just under 55%

It wouldn't be fun if everyone were able to zip through getting 10 out of 10, would it?
