Well now I want to somehow squeeze this into one of my too infrequent visits to london!
I've never seen her on stage, but I really want to.
I'm whatever generation is in their mid-40s, and I'm a very keen theatre goer

Crossing fingers Aimee does Wednesday matinees - I’ve bought table seats for my sister’s birthday and gambled on early March for post-cast change and now looking like the best big sister ever for that gift haha. I saw her in Uncle Vanya and thought she was wonderful.

Wonder if Emily Benjamin will stick around to get that full time lead, which would be deserved. They absolutely hit the jackpot with her.

Vinyl of the cast recording is released on February 17th. cabaret.lnk.to/Pre-order I have to say the pricing on amazon seems quite good value considering the price of pop music on vinyl, especially as it is a double disc. I would like to support somewhere that isn't amazon when ordering and they do have it listed on decca but it is a bit more. Anyone know where else the vinyl could be pre-ordered?

Does anyone think Eddie Redmayne would go back for a limited run to close? Maybe?

Lordy, is this show still running?
Don’t know about ticket sales but it feels like it maybe has one more cast change in it before they ask Pollard and Biggins.

So Biggins and Pollard still have the chance to go on before it ends? Oh that’s made my day

Pollard would probably show up when she was supposed to and sing it in tune too 😄

Have listened to the full cast recording and absolutely love it. Really captured how great it was seeing the show last February (without spoiling some of the surprises), Eddie Redmayne sings it fantastically and was great to listen to Jessie Buckley (as she was off when I saw it), also the rest of the cast and orchestra sound terrific. For those listening on Spotify, they show some great clips (or I believe they’re known as “Canvases”) for each song which makes me wonder if they’ve filmed the full thing and will ever realease the pro-shot? They are also on Instagram for those who don’t have Spotify. www.instagram.com/reel/CnoLu_FotJ-/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=www.instagram.com/reel/CnoNDHzoFJn/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

La Buckley sounds glorious on the recording. I wish I'd taken a second mortgage out to get a ticket, after all. Definite shades of Anna Maxwell Martin (based on the vocal performances).
If they ever manage to get Billie Piper to give us her Sally, I will get myself down the Playhouse at ALL costs!

Piper recently said she wants to do musicals, but not on stage since she'd never be around to tuck in her kids at night.

Hoping that you've booked for the 8 March matinee...... Just to say.. the Playhouse box office staff were very helpful about a ticket swap for a similar table, and I retain my title of Best Older Sister 😂 (I have explained this does not account for unscheduled days off, but I’ve done the best I can!)

I have to say if Buckley's rendition of the title number isn't my top song on Spotify wrapped at the end of the year I will be very surprised. The whole recording is brilliant and I look forward to when my Vinyl arrives!

I think the recording is fine, but why would anyone want to listen to Buckley singing those songs out of context?
It works in the context of the show, on the cast recording it's just a woman yelling...
I should say I think all cast recordings of Cabaret are dreadful - you either have a Sally who is rubbish, or a Sally who is trying to be rubbish and I don't want to listen to either of those things.

I don't really listen to any cast recording as traditional songs per se and I rarely listen to individual songs on them. It's always as a whole album. I don't think there's a single song I can think of that works that for me that way ( jukeboxes don't count). I'm not really fussed about how beautifully someone sings it, I just want the cast album to deliver the texture and emotion and my memory of the show if I saw it or evoke what it would have been like if I didn't. I think this one does.

The OLCR with Judi Dench and Kevin Colson is wonderful. Its far from dreadful. It's my go to recording of the show

Listening to the CD, Eddie certainly has a relentless bag of tricks up his sleeve.

I know...but in the context of the show the yelling is THRILLING...it just sounds rough on the recording
