Holy crap! Could there be a more poignant time for this show? I saw the Sally Bowles understudy (Gabi Campo) and holy crap can that lady belt! Amazing vocals. Adam Lambert nailed it. I hope to see him in more Broadway shows because that man, as we all already know, is a star! And he has the vocals.
More than that though, the immersive experience of this show is beyond belief. It really did feel like stepping into a new world where “everything is beautiful!” starting right with the pre show. “Look, don’t touch” is right as these performers use dance and mime to entrance you. By the time the curtain rises, the audience is ready for a good time. And then the seriousness of the show slowly hits. And the desperation of trying to keep it “normal” becomes apparent. I pity anyone who cannot see the parallels to modern day America.
