I will never for the life of me understand why people were fighting over Zac Efron when Corbin Bleu was right there

@jenniferhiemstra5228 Жыл бұрын

Literal same and Imma say it…Corbin has thrice the talent level that Zac does. I luckily saw him in In the Heights back when and I don’t regret it one iota. Best casting decision that show ever made when it was still on Broadway outside of Lin himself. Equally made me laugh as well as cry. Never understood why Zac got all the attention when this chocolatey hunk with true triple threat skills exists.

The balance and core strength required for that dance were ever so much more obvious with Corbin than Liza. Just - DAMN! Liza made it look easy, but somehow this struck me more how difficult it would be, and how he made it work and again - look easy. Fosse was a mad genius with a serious sadistic streak.

Watched a doco, the other day, on the history of "Cabaret" which examined the evolution of Isherwood's "The Berlin Tales" to "I am a Camera" to the stage productions of "Cabaret" to the movie. Apparently, when filming this dance routine, for the movie, eventually they had to nail the chairs to the floor for most of the shots as Liza and the dancers could not maintain the balance required on unsecured chairs. Highlights the brilliance, and skill, of Corbin Bleu and the ensemble in this production! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bt6ietNk2eCvl6c.html

Yes, I saw Cabaret on Broadway decades ago,, in NYC. Raul Esparza, had the lead, he was amazing. I can definitely see Corbin Bleu in the lead. He is definitely an underestimated performer in my opinion. I've always thought he would be a big broadway star, or would be a good dramatic actor as he matured. I thought I would see more of him, as far as television, movies, and Broadway goes.

The lighting in person was perfection, as were the easily visible dancers - who absolutely KILLED this number along with Corbin Bleu. The costumes were equally wonderful, turning sock garters into a sexy highlight. Unfortunately the dancers are very dark on video because it was lit for the live space. I'm super critical of Fosse numbers because I love them so much, and these guys were seriously perfect! I was blown away.

@nrjohns50 Жыл бұрын

I am so glad you said some thing about the lighting. I thought about those dancers in the background who were rehearsing and rehearsing only to be totally in the dark. They look like they were really tremendous but it was really hard to tell.

@jk3253 Жыл бұрын

Omg thank you for this comment! I was getting slightly irritated with the lighting (and camera work tbh) because the background dancers are such a critical part of this piece. I’m very glad to hear that it didn’t seem so poorly lit in person. And also that the costuming was good in person! The camerawork doesn’t really capture that. In fact, since the costumes as they are captured on camera look rather underwhelming, I was thinking that this comes off as an oddly somewhat more conservative rendition than other versions with bare legs that are shown off by the leggy choreography.

I saw a revival of Cabaret a few years ago that had different choreography and costumes - it was more like the 90s revival of the show (my guess being that Liza Minelli and Joel Grey did such an iconic job that everyone knew it couldn't be replicated so instead they decided to change things up especially the portrayal of the MC re Alan Cumming) so it isn't exactly set in the script (or at least not in stone). I guess they picked this one because it's iconically Liza Minelli so then it'd be more deliberately gender-flipped by having Corbin Bleu do her moves.

The docu on Company! during Covid, in Sondheim's last days, was one of the Few bright parts of B'way shutting down. I'll probly watch this a fozen times this week, on tablet so it's bigger, cos it is so delicious❣️❣️❣️ I lost interest in B'way when it got all Disney-ized and all the music by the two guys who dominated these last decades sounds the same to me. Gonna spend s bunch of time seeking out vid of revivals like this one. It fits the whole Weimar decadence 💯%👌🏼👍🏽😘
