Cabaret
- Book by Joe Masteroff
- Based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood
- Music by John Kander
- Lyrics by Fred Ebb
- Directed by Stuart Meltzer
As the 1920s draw to a close in Berlin, a garish master of ceremonies assures his audience that they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the emcee's bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin's natives and expatriates as Germany yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Musical numbers include "Willkommen," "Cabaret," "Don't Tell Mama" and "Two Ladies."

The Broadway Beat Goes On
By Phyllis GreenTheater Critic
It's like riding a bike! Once a dancer, always a dancer. And what an inspiration to watch 40 plus gorgeous, talented youngsters, ages 55 to 95, strut their stuff in "The New Florida Follies". Playing to a packed house at The Parker in Ft. Lauderdale, "The Broadway Beat" opened with a warm welcome from the Follies Director/Choreographer, Cheryl Steinthal, a striking lady, outlining the outstanding charities they support devoted to the well-being of children. And now, as she says, on with the show 'cause there's no biz like show biz! With an incredible bevy of beautiful babes, and a couple of good 'ole boys, it was a rare treat to watch as they tapped and traversed in and out of dazzling, glitzy headdresses, and short sequined costumes, some of which were created by the gals themselves. Conversely, there was "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" from "South Pacific", done in towels and headbands; to the umbrella routine from "Top Hat"; to the sexy black outfits with groovy gloves and garters from "Cabaret"; to the hip western shorts and cowboy hats from "Will Rogers Follies"; to a full stage vignette from "Into the Woods" to the very stylish blond and brunette coifs; down to the finest detail of proper dance foot-ware.
All that with triads, synchronized lines and high kicks and the fastest costume changes and segues Flo Ziegfeld would ever have seen! These ladies, former Rockettes, showgirls and gypsies were the epitome of presentation, performance, and precision. And now, the cherry on the top of this delicious, sweet confection; the appearance of Guest Stars: M&M, Michael Kessler and Melinda Jackson. Equipped with the longest legs ever, the gorgeous, magnificent Melinda graced the stage as if floating in the air, while muscular hunk, Michael, sang and danced his unique style. Suggesting that even Gower and Bennet, and Fosse came to mind, Michael's rendition of "Rich Man" from "Fiddler" by far exceeded any other choreography; and the famous character, Tevye could have used some of those endearing moves! With some cheeky jazz in "Razzle Dazzle" from "Chicago"; high kicks, top hats and reminiscent steps from "One" in "A Chorus Line"; this show- stopping duo shined with M&M's interpretation of Broadway musicals with unequaled panache. Melinda, on pointe, at the ballet barre, was joined by Michael, with the most exquisite patterns. They performed a highly sophisticated adaptation of "Do You Love Me" from "Fiddler", emotionally packed with those meaningful lyrics and amazing moves that captured the talent, heart and love this couple generates. Kudos to M&M; stars that brought a little Vegas to this already perfect show.
In a flag filled finale, the company marched in formation with a salute to all the branches of the Armed Forces, America, and the Great White Way. A standing ovation proved the "The Broadway Beat" goes on and ON! This feel-good show may be seen on Sunday March 17 and Sunday March 24 at 2 PM at the Countess de Hoernle Theater, Boca Raton.

Death of a Salesman

Trying
In 1967, feisty Sarah Schorr, a 25-year-old from rural Canada, goes to work as secretary for 81-year-old Francis Biddle, the patrician former US Attorney General. The brilliant Biddle is now frail, sometimes befuddled, and always irascible. Inspired by the playwright's experiences as Biddle's secretary, the piece is a tender yet unsentimental portrait of two disparate people navigating their vast differences to form a bond of mutual admiration, consideration, and respect.
