Cabaret

 

Bob Fosse’s ground-breaking Oscar®-winning musical drama starring Liza Minnelli (Arthur, The Sterile Cuckoo), Michael York (the Austin Powers films), Joel Grey (TV’s “Oz”), Helmut Griem, and Marisa Berenson (I am Love). 

 

Flamboyant and eccentric American entertainer Sally Bowles (Minnelli) sings in Berlin’s decadent Kit Kat Club, even as Nazism rises in Germany in 1931. She falls in love with a British language teacher (York) – whom she shares with a homosexual German baron (Griem). But Sally's insular, carefree, tolerant and fragile cabaret world is about to be crushed under the boot of the Nazis as Berlin becomes a trap from which Sally's German friends will not escape.

 

Remastered for the first time in over 20 years with new and vintage special features!

 

Cabaret will be available in a premium Blu-ray™ Book format containing 40 pages of insightful photos and text on February 5 from Warner Home Video.

Ashamed to admit I'd find it cool if Madonna actually wore this

Madonna's funniest doppelgang-banger, Nadya Ginsburg, is bringing her acclaimed (Lady Gaga's official fan club raved...raved) solo comedy Madonnalogues back to NYC! I loved it the last time I saw it, and in spite of Ginsburg's spite for Madonna, there is definitely some appreciation considering just how in depth her tweaking goes. So basically, it's the ideal show for Madonna lovers and haters. The only person I can think of who wouldn't like it is, well, falling down in the Alps at the moment.

I've got 3 pairs of tickets to the show to give away!

To enter for your chance to win, please comment below what you think was Madonna's worst official single of all time and why. I'll pick 3 of you to win 1 week from today at 5PM EST. (You must be able to attend one of the shows in NYC in order to win. No transportation provided.)

Click here for more info on the show. Madonnalogues plays January 11 and 13 at The Laurie Beechman Theatre inside West Bank Cafe at 407 W. 42nd St./9th Avenue. Tickets are $15 plus a $15 food/drink minimum. Call (212) 352-3101 or click here for tickets.
