In the interest of full disclosure I will admit that I could comprehend no more than ten words from all the vocals. Several were expletives not deleted (for those who remember the Nixon tapes). Nonetheless, the show is an entertaining recreation of an Otto Dix painting of the German Cabaret of Weimar days. Audio discs and some films from a later date are available for those who might want to compare the re-creation (with some modern trappings, of course)with the original.(Lotte Lenya doing her husband’s (Weill) music and Brecht’s lyrics would be appropriate, since the Doll’s claim to be doing her kind of thing,) The stage show and film, Cabaret, would clearly appear to be a more direct source.
There are a variety of other activities on-stage at times to supplement the two central performers (see other reviews). It is unclear how many are professionals and how many are amateur followers, but they provide a necessary diversion from the energetic duo.
All-in-all, for those not shocked by the superficial trappings of cuss words and modestly bizarre dress, the central performance (running perhaps 100+minutes) is just about right for the pleasure not to grow stale with the limitations on two performers even with some help from their friends.
