He forgot that he was supposed to be bad❤

I think, if given the chance, he would definitely love to play emcee again.

you are so incredibly lucky to have seen his performance :)

@@Dancingwolf325 oh i completely agree .. in an interview alan asked a producer if he ever got tired of putting Cabaret on and when the producer said no alan said he never got tired of it either :)) and that was so comforting :)

@@Dancingwolf325 god i hope so

I saw the final performance in 2015, Sienna Miller as Sally, same result.

Break a leg!!!

Did you get the role?

I hope you did well 🙂

Alan is perfect in this role.

U should listen to Mason Alexander sing

​@@belial13lailebOh my god! I just saw the video of Mason singing this! They were amazing! So raw and powerful.

Elizabeth Sigmon who says that?! WHAT?! He’s not only iconic but a great singer

Who would say something that crazy?

HE CAN'T SING!

@@guymontag9577 Keep lying to yourself

His voice is gorgeous here!!!

Beth M LUCKY omg

I know this is 4 years later but I also saw him on Valentine’s Day in 2015! Him and Emma stone! Ugh so so amazing

@@hannahsong6341 Valentine Day "gift"??

Kenzie Gehrke ah finally someone else thinks that way as well

Ah, dont think so. In the 1993 filmed revival-London UK Donmar(?) Production, the ending he is wearing the inmate pajamas, and in the production, there are 3 emblems on his shirt. Star of David-double yellow trangles-the pink triangle-queer-and the red one is for communist. They decided to drop the comunist one when the show opened on Broadway, because most Americans had no idea what it symbolised and confused the audeince.

I think he's both a character and a representation but not so much of germany and more of the diffrent view points presented through the other characters in the musical.

Leigh Perry so what do you think this means? That he ends up being a victim too?

@@emilybacon2654 I think it means that Germany hurt its people

How did it go

Yes he is..completely mesmerizing, captivating, inticing and menacing in this role..with charm and dark humor thrown in, so the ending is a horrifying gut punch. Alan Cumming is magnificent.

Drama Desks in 98 I think

The makeup for Emcee includes painted on bruises and scrapes/scratches, like most of the characters who work in the club. I thought they were tattoos but then I remembered the other productions and what the real Cabaret crowd did. They were generally equal rights activists and got caught in or participated in riots and had more than a few bruises. Cabaret performers were also targeted and beat up by people who supported the Nazi party, because they didn't fit in with that kind of crowd. Many Cabaret artists died concentration camps. I suggest you watch the documentary Alan Cumming made of the the real Cabaret of that time, "The Real Cabaret." Plus the other half of being a Cabaret performer can give you bruises/scratches... because those are, um...workplace injuries.

NoMuseMusican AWH Thank you very much!!! ;)

LaNera Luna Those could be either painted tattoos or really his, though. I don't know if he has any. My guess is that its part of the costume, you never know.

yes i think so!

whatever they are i think they're make up because raul esparza who played this role in 2001/2002 had the same markings

I saw the 1998 Broadway Revival..he was smoking hot then, and he's aging like a fine wine..

Uh rude. He’s very handsome still

@@wompwomp1457 absolutely 💯❤
