 This is another WRC recording of a musical which I thought was like the other WRC releases of "Musicals" made up with artists picked by the record company BUT after going on "Google" to find out if the "Stephan Marriott" was the singer from the group "The Small Faces"and a Pop singer in his own right I came across this L/P cover....So it is a West End Cast recording ...Its not the original first cast but its a good one well worth a listen too !

Cabaret ( London Cast ).320 Kbps

Re-Post
 I did not get to see the stage version of "Cabaret" I only know the film...It looks like it might have been slightly different from the film....seeing that there are quite a lot of songs that where not in the film....Still Filmmakers have to make it more interesting and they have more scope to do things....with a stage adaptation you are tied to the size of the stage.. and also films don't have that atmosphere of the "Live" performance which if anything goes wrong its there for all to see !!....Films you just do it again &again & again till you get it right....It opened on 28th February 1968 at "The Palace Theatre London"....Liza Minnelli certainly made the part of "Sally Bowles"in the film her own !!!!
