I was not going to miss opening night even after coming off a three day bout with the flu and I was rewarded for my effort even if my fellow ticket holders might not have been as thrilled. This musical has been remade so may times for the large and small screens that everyone knows the plot so spoilers are not possible but it was nice to see the musical on the
Eisenhower stage. From the start, my friend Sharon and I knew we were going to be in for a treat when a statuesque drag queen starts ribbing the crowd and getting us to participate in the show as if we were at a real French cabaret.
George Hamilton is still very tan and spry for his age but the highlight of the show is the incredible performance of
Christopher Sieber as Albin. Sieber also gets kudos from me by putting in his
Playbill bio that he has never actually been in an episode of
Law & Order - you do not want to miss this show.
