Chicago»rank: 1122by: Various Artists
: :The movie version of Kander and Ebb's Chicago was long in the making, but it's well worth the wait. Director Rob Marshall's main change was to turn the classic musical numbers into fantasy sequences, but of course this isn't obvious on CD. Most importantly, the arrangements are bursting with life while being true to the show's spirit, and the casting is simply inspired. Catherine Zeta-Jones actually started her career on ... |

Cabaret: Original Soundtrack Recording (1972 Film)»rank: 2129by: Fred Ebb
: :Cheated out of playing nightclub canary Sally Bowles on Broadway in director Hal Price's Cabaret, Liza Minnelli nevertheless delivered an 0scar-winning star turn in Bob Fosse's cinematic reinvention of the show (which had the good sense to retain perverse imp Joel Grey from the stage production). Although the 1972 film discarded several songs from the original score, the new ones sound even better: Minnelli's breast-beating 'Maybe This Time,' the sultry ... |

Cabaret (Original Broadway Cast)»rank: 7435by: Fred Ebb
: :This original cast recording of Kander & Ebb's Cabaret is tough to beat: Jill Haworth as Sally Bowles, Joel Grey as the Master of Ceremonies, and Lotte Lenya as Fraulein Schneider all turn in classic performances that set a high-water mark for future reinterpretations. Lenya's 'So What?' and 'lt Couldn't Please Me More' hark back to the dark cabaret work composed by her late husband, Kurt Weill, while other tunes ... |

Chicago - The Musical (1996 Broadway Revival Cast)»rank: 8013by: John Kander, Fred Ebb, Ann Reinking, Bebe Neuwirth
: :'Chicago's plot was cynical and satirical in 1975, but today feels like a documentary.' So says Walter Bobbie, the director responsible for this revival of the Kander, Ebb, and Fosse 'musical vaudeville,' which began as a minimalist concert staging for New York City Center's Encore! series before moving on to Broadway, critical acclaim, and Tony Awards. Actually, it'd be hard to go wrong with any production, no matter how it's ... |

Cabaret: The New Broadway Cast Recording (1998 Broadway Revival)»rank: 26201by: John Kander, Fred Ebb
: :The 1998 Broadway production of Cabaret is that rarest of revivals, one that feels like an utterly new show. Despite their incredibly familiarity, the songs of Kander and Ebb sound as lively and lascivious as ever, and the revised score augments the original with several tunes written specifically for the 0scar-winning 1972 film ('Mein Herr,' 'Maybe This Time'). ln the central roles of deluded chanteuse Sally Bowles and the MC, ... |
