Cabaret, “Willkommen”

It’s a different take on the Emcee, but I don’t think Redmayne quite makes it.

It looks beautiful.

The Outsiders

Tony Wins: Best Musical; Best Direction of a Musical; Best Lighting Design of a Musical; Best Sound Design of a Musical

I always liked S. E. Hinton’s classic The Outsiders. Hated Holden Caufield, that entitled little snot, but the Outsider kids, they were okay.

Talk about the musical nobody needed.
