Being American and being raised on Liza Minelli's Sally Bowles, I find this performance utterly electrifying and frightening at the same time. This Sally is VERY different, I'm surmising much more appropriate for the time in Berlin. She's hanging on by a thread, and she is shoving it down our throats that "you better fcuking like this or else". I can smell the mildew in the air, the stale cigarette smoke and sweat. Just wow!

This performance alone deserves an Olivier... seriously... so many layers... a woman having a nervous brekadown on stave while dealing with all her stuff, while having to be cheery... its amazing...

People saying “this is a terrible performance”, THAT’S. THE. FUCKING. POINT!! Sally Bowles isn’t a big Broadway star, she works in a seedy nightclub in Berlin, she is meant to be a mediocre singer, plus at this point in the show she had just aborted her baby and been through a breakup, not to mention the ever present threat of the Nazis coming to power, this scene is Sally hanging on by her fingernails mentally, and Amy was utterly phenomenal in her portrayal of this! I saw her in the show last year, and my god it’s one of the most astounding individual performances I’ve ever seen in a theatre, and I’ve seen a LOT of shows!

@ericgutierrez5708 Год назад

Without a doubt the greatest interpretation of Sally Bowles I have ever seen, and I've seem most all. Christopher Isherwood, who wrote the source material, famously disliked the most famous Sally, Liza Minelli, because she was too polished. Amy Lenox shows us the desperation, the self-delusion, and the mediocre talent of the literary Sally Bowles. This rendition floors me.

People who have only heard the song and never seen the show, I think that the song cabaret is upbeat and uptempo and cheery and come on down and have a good time. Without the context, you don't understand or appreciate the horror that is going on in Berlin, and what is happening to Sally and her own life. I am absolutely astounded at how brilliantly Amy Lennox captures it. It's meant to be horrifying. And she accomplishes it spectacularly.

In many ways I completey agree about all the complaints about Minelli/Fosse's interpretation of Sally Bowles being too good/too talented .

For instance look at....Liza Minelli

@bam4511 Месяц назад

This is perfect. Isherwood describes Sally in The Berlin Diaries as an utterly mediocre singer but a performer who was hard to look away from. Plus she's singing after a back alley abortion. It's similar to "Let The Sunshine In" from Hair. Without the context of the show, it's a cute hippie song instead of the cast singing a funeral dirge for their friend in Vietnam. It's not pretty, but if you get goosebumps: she did it right. This song is pretty much the last gasp of a woman's delusional, nihilistic desperation to keep the party going when the end is way too clearly in sight.

Why did it take so long until the great Jane Horrocks and now the great Amy Lennox finally got that Sally Bowles is not cute, is not an ingenue. Sally is a train wreck, a mess, an emotional breakdown in slow motion. Cabaret is not a cheerful work, it's about the nightmare of a societal collapse. Everyone in it is barely holding on by their fingernails.

@theofthe2299 Год назад

is that the only version you’ve watched? lol

@TheTradge Год назад

Liza’s performance is far too polished, especially given what preceded this song in the show, remember this is Sally hanging by a thread mentally, having just been through a breakup and an abortion, plus the rise of fascism in Germany ever present in the mind. She’s forcing herself to keep the show going even though she’s absolutely in bits, and Amy portrays this masterfully.

@JB-hq4il Год назад

Sally has lost everything at this point, by her own hands to bury her head in the fantasy of being a performer in Berlin despite both lacking the talent to do so and being in denial that the very lifestyle that is sustaining her is being swept away by the Nazi’s anyway. At this part in this production the entire cast has shifted from the glamorous cabaret outfits to more washed out blazers to symbolise the grip of Hitlers over Berlin. Hence the outfit. I admit it’s a lot to see out of context of the show and if Liza’s sanitised version is your only reference. But the emotions this makes you feel are all very intentional 😅

@vitastarkin8832 5 месяцев назад

I disagree with the vocals, I think that most performers know how to switch on the "everything is good" onstage. There's a moment in the Liza Minelli version where there's this subtle look of reflection in her eyes where she realises her life, and then doubles down on the vocals. As a performer myself, I relate to the Liza version as a more accurate portrayal

@nudgificator 4 месяца назад

Costuming aside, I would say bear in mind that the two performances are in different media. Liza's film performance allows for a more subtle approach, whereas on stage things can and should be bigger and more exaggerated. Not just because you have to communicate it to the farthest audience, but also there's an inherent artificiality in theatre anyway that a performer can lean into like she does here.

@apalmer3426 Месяц назад

Nightclub performers don't bring their baggage on stage with them ....they escape their troubles on stage and enter a world of glamour and make believe. 'The show must go on'. That's the irony, which is stupidly missed here. Earlier versions such as Liza's are infinitely better.

@artdeco5464 Год назад

I think others have already made the observation that Sally was a mediocre talent performing in a third rate night club... The song isn't supposed to be nice. It's supposed to be ugly... Sally is breaking down in the same way that Germany was breaking down... and it was all becoming quire ugly. I think this is good but prefer Jane Horrocks.

@laurengarrigan774 Год назад

Sally isn't meant to be an accomplished singer. Amy is singing just as it was written. In fact, Amy is an incredible singer so she is straining and changing her natural voice just to play this part.

@ArtfulKindofOrder Год назад

This comment is like reading reviews of Monet from the future. "But it's blurry? isn't this picture much clearer and prettier?" There are performances of this song that make the song pretty. This isn't that. This is acting taking precedence over the actual prettiness of the song. It takes a lot of courage for an actor to commit to a performance like this. Usually they are capable of more "polished" album-style takes on a song. But theater isn't about "pretty" and "polished". It's an art form like any other that can reflect life. And, especially for often remade theater classics, that means there can be multiple great interpretations. Because people have come before that sang this song in a more standard musical way, there is room for this one. Sally Bowles -- a raw, flawed character who actually knew someone named Elsie and accidentally got too deep on stage during one of the most volitale times in modern history -- Germany immediately before WW2

@linneymaher6155 Год назад

For her to use her voice in that way, with the inflections she's chosen, and the sheer force of it, takes an incredibly disciplined and talented singer. She's playing a character and is in control from start to finish - if she wasn't it would be very noticeable and she would likely lose her voice routinely.

you're ignoring the clear context of the song in favour of your own political biases.

You can have your views, but try not to twist reality into what you want to see and look at the truth for once.
