Show Notes
The classic musical Cabaret has returned to the London stage starring Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne.
The hit musical, famously made into a film starring Liza Minnelli as the cabaret singer Sally, was inspired by the novels of English writer Christopher Isherwood based on his own experiences in the German capital as the Nazis rose to power.
Redmayne plays The Emcee alongside Jessie Buckley as Sally Bowles in the show set in the fictional cabaret venue the Kit Kat Club.
The Evening Standard’s Chief Theatre Critic Nick Curtis joins The Leader podcast to discuss why he’s garlanded the West End musical revival with a rare five-star review.
