Playhouse’s “Cabaret†Earns 4 Star LCT Rating
Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s Cabaret with a 4 Star rating.
Cabaret, the renowned Kander and Ebb musical set in the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy pre-war nightclub in Berlin, chronicles the growing prejudice in Germany through the eyes of a visiting American writer.
Panelists said of Cabaret: “An excellently produced and performed production…Fantastic.†Panelists were particularly impressed with featured actress Mary Gordon Murray as Fraulein Schneider, “a standout, who was powerful and believable†and gave “a moving performanceâ€. The chorus members were also praised for their outstanding dance and movement, aided by Marcia Milgram Dodge’s often “inspired†and “amazing†choreography. Finally, Angela Wendt’s was commended for her “striking†costumes: “Pearls, fringe, sequins and endless details made the costumes in this production simply stunning.â€
Cabaret continues through November 16th. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.cincyplay.com.
League of Cincinnati Theatre panelists evaluate productions on a 5 star scale and recommend shows at either a 4 star or 5 star level. Nominations for LCT awards will be determined and announced at the end of the season and winners awarded at the annual LCT gala in the spring.
