KC Rep "Cabaret" review by T.Winchester

A Broadway Caliber Show in Kansas City!
Rating: 5

Cabaret
Kansas City Repertory Theatre

I absolutely loved the show, as did my companion, a 50-year theatre veteran who not only founded several theatres in the local area but has directed and acted in numerous shows over the decades. He has a much more critical and unforgiving eye than I do, and he gave the show a standing ovation!

To be totally honest, I must admit that I have been a little disappointed with the stage fare that the Rep has produced in the last couple of seasons. As a season ticket holder, I was wondering if I had possibly even wasted my money this season. But this show in itself more than made up for all of the other productions this season that I didn't care much for--either in the choice of script itself or the production.

You really cannot go wrong with this show! Don't expect to see the film reenacted--seeing it live is so much better than the film--and quite different. There is never a dull moment--the pacing is excellent, and the time really flies by.
