Naked Boys Singing and Cabaret

Naked Boys Singing

I saw the movie on DVD and now I kick myself for not seeing the show live in New York when I got the chance!

This was a fantastic romp through a bygone era of beautiful show tunes. The music and dancing get an A+ from this old school marm. Or should I say, doting headmaster.

If you are curious about experiencing vocal performances in a style that has become nearly endangered due to the difficulty invovled in puting it all together, and keeping it there, see Naked Boys Singing

This was a collection of musical numbers, all of which were excellent, and almost all performed in the buff.
Liza

I tend to be low-budget. I didn't see the exciting live performance of Cabaret , Theatre Under The Stars, at the Hobby Center (June 16-28th). Instead, I watched the DVD of the 1972 movie starring: Liza Minnelli, Michael York, and Joel Grey. I enjoyed this journey back in time to 1931 Germany and the bitter-sweat love affair with a twist between a somewhat reserved intellectual and the glittering, spontaneous Liza.

Many of the musical numbers in this movie have become iconic. The decadent, and deliciously teasing on-stage performances provide a foil for the brutal intolerance of the increasingly powerful Nazi political movement.

I recommend this movie.
