I found this paragraph curious, but maybe I am totally missing your point.
"The people in charge of estates are often heirs and heirs would often like to get in some revenue from these titles. CABARET has never fallen out of the national repertory, but it's also never been presented on Broadway in the same way twice. I imagine the folks in the charge of it now are probably thinking that if the original creators allowed such wholesale cuts and alterations, why not continue to do so, especially if it results in a major production that's going to bring in revenue to the estate and the heirs."
Kander is still alive. I imagine he has say. And Cabaret has been presented the same way twice on Broadway...twice! The original Prince staging was presented again in the 80's, again with Joel Grey, and the 1998 Mendez revivial was presented again in the mid 2000-teens, both times with Alan Cumming. |
