Cabaret, Triumphant 

Winding Road's rendition of a dark musical of 1930s Germany is superb

Tucson Weekly

M. Scot Skinner

 

"...But the miracle of this mounting is the ensemble. Under the direction of Christopher Johnson and Evan Werner, the cast is exceptional from top to bottom."

 

"...The musical achieves emotional gravitas because we know that all this carnal sin is nothing compared to the sin that's on the way. Our knowledge that tomorrow belongs to the Nazis ratchets up the sexual intensity and puts a monumental chill in the air...."

 

"...And what's not to like about China Young as Fraulein Kost, not to mention Susan Arnold and David A. Johnston as the older couple whose tender love for each other can't overcome the gathering storm?..."

 

"...So put down your Twitter, Facebook and phone, old chums, because there's something special happening right now in the real world.

Right this way, your table's waiting."

 

Don’t expect jolly ‘Cabaret’ at Winding Road

Arizona Daily Star

Kathleen Allen

 

"...This production got the play — that it’s not about the singing and dancing; it’s about the willful ignorance of the changing political landscape, the desperation, the decadence, and the commitment to indulging life to its fullest and politics be damned. Until they damn you, of course."

 

"...Winding Road’s “Cabaret” is insightful. And disturbing..."
