Album Notes Music composed by John Kander. Lyrics written by Fred Ebb. Principal cast includes: Jill Haworth (Sally Bowles); Joel Grey (Master Of Ceremonies); Lotte Lenya (Fraulein Schneider); Bert Convy (Clifford Bradshaw); Jack Gilford (Herr Schultz). Recorded at CBS 30th Street Studios, New York, New York on November 27, 1966. Composer: John Kander. Lyricist: Fred Ebb. One of the all-time classic Broadway shows, CABARET came to be best known through the 1970s film version starring Liza Minelli and Joel Grey, but this Original Cast album captures CABARET as it was first seen and heard, with Lotte Lenya, Bert Convy, Jack Gilford, and Jill Haworth. That crucial mixture of decadence and beauty cut through with an undercurrent of impending danger in this story of the rise of Nazi Germany is what makes the show tick, and that holds true for the best-known tunes, like "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," as well as the rest. Lenya's personality pours out of every tune she tackles, as she delivers a performance that must have made a young Liza a tad nervous when it was time to step into the former's shoes.
Editorial Reviews ...includes numbers recently cut to tighten up and darken the creepy classic. - Rating: A Entertainment Weekly (07/10/1998)
