“Cabaret” Gets Airing; Liza Minnelli, Too
The 2012 TCM Classic Film Festival begins tonight at 6:30 pm with a screening of Bob Fosse‘s “Cabaret” (’72). “Cabaret” broke the musical mold by not having its characters suddenly break into song and dance. Instead all but one of the tunes were performed onstage at Berlin’s Kit Kat Club. The exception, of course, was the famous beer garden scene when the blonde Hitler youth sings “Tomorrow Belongs To Me” — easily one of the most chilling tunes ever heard in an American musical. After the screening, Liza Minnelli, one of “Cabaret”‘s Oscar-winning stars, is being let out of the show-biz zoo long enough to do an interview with Robert Osborne. She’s liable to roar plenty about David Gest, her last husband whom she once said was “a tiger in the sack.”
