Cabaret productions

This weekend I'll be helping out with TECH rehearsals at King Edwards school for their production of Cabaret. In the run up to the show I've been refreshing my memory of the story line and taking note of the different interpretations of the story especially when it comes to the costumes.

The most well known production of Cabaret is of course the film version with Liza Minnelli. This was the first version of Cabaret I'd seen so whenever I watch any other production Minnelli is always my Sally Bowles. She just depicts her in such her own way. She makes Sally Bowles become such a real, confident, out for herself person. It'll be interesting to see a teenager try and portray this character.

Due to the nature of this storyline I'm still intrigued as to how it's been adapted for a school production, how much is necessary to change for parents to allow their children to perform in this show.
