Craig Bachman is a scary Ernst Ludwig, a Nazi. Jason Kraid is a sympathetic Herr Schultz. Special praise goes to Danielle Soibelman as Anna Ludwig, who sings “Tomorrow Belongs to Me” in a clear lovely voice, and is actually one of the best performers, as she was in Ragtime with this group.
Thanks are due to Bonnie McMahon, by far the best dancer on stage, for taking on a smaller role in order to be free to produce. This is no vanity effort, but a production by people who really care about the musical art form. Judy Norton does a superb job of direction, using the space well and keeping the characters clear and on course. Greg Hakke provides wonderful musical direction, and the choreography of Tania Possick knocks your socks off. All told this is a very successful production and lots of fun.
Cabaret plays at the Met Theatre until August 9th.
