I am so jealous about this people and stories ![:(](http://static.diary.ru/picture/1146.gif)
Ok, I'm kind of floating about six inches off the ground, because I JUST DANCED WITH RANDY HARRISON ONSTAGE IN CABARET!!! 😍😍😍 Of course I had met him the night before and we talked for a bit. Today he walked down the stairs off the stage and pointed at me and said "You!" In that German accent.
"Vat is your name?"
"Susan."
"Soozan!" He yells to the audience.
"Tell me Soozan, is zees your first veesit to zee Kit Kat Club?"
I think he was expecting a no, since I was there the night before, but I panicked and said "Yes."
He raised his eyebrows and said "Yes?! You looked to me like you had some experience. Ladies and gentlemen...A VIRGIN!"
So he danced me around, saying, "Zee Kit Kat Club will change you." Then had me spin around.
When he let me go I just couldn't help myself... I struck his signature pose. He grinned and quipped something like "I told you." The crowd loved it. My legs were shaking so bad I don't know how I got back down the stairs. It was an experience I will never EVER forget.
Thanks Randy! Love you! 💖😍

"What an amazing night. Cabaret was great and Randy Harrison as the Emcee was truly phenomenal. He inhabited this role with such humor, impishness, and complete lack of self consciousness. He is alternately playful then foreboding, sexy then violent. He stands above the action sometimes and merely watches, but his presence is always felt.
I enjoyed his more playful number in Act 1 called ""Two Ladies," extolling the virtues of sharing his bed with the titular twosome. "I sleep in the middle. I'm left. I'm right." I may have guffawed a bit too loud at the line at the end when he raises his legs up, showing off his boxers, and sings, "But there's room at the bottom if you drop in some night." I'm not entirely sure anybody else in my section got it.
But to me, Randy's amazing "I don't care much" in Act 2 was my favorite. He went from beautiful torch song melody, just lilting and fragile, slowly transforming to a gutteral growl, biting off the words in a staccato serenade. It was amazing. He was in perfect voice throughout; I have never heard him sound so good.
Other amazing high points were Andrea Goss as Sally Bowles singing Cabaret in Act 2, and Fraulein Schneider's "What Would You Do?" I can't recommend this show enough.
And that was from row Z! Tomorrow I'm on Row 2, so I get to appreciate, as the Emcee calls them, all the "dangly bits."
The final thrill was getting to meet Randy himself. He was incredibly kind and gracious. We spoke a bit about HB2, and I thanked him for speaking out and told him it meant a lot. He seemed touched, and shared with me that he had been a bit apprehensive that first night, not knowing what the reaction would be to his ad lib. He said that even though you THINK most people feel embarrassed by it (HB2), still you never know what the reaction will be. In my audience he got overwhelming applause with a few people (like me ) standing and cheering. I told him that living in NC had gotten kind of shitty lately, and he told me he remembered living in Cob Co, GA and picketing for gay rights. He was just so lovely and encouraging. I can't wait Еще от Сьюз Just a quick review of the Sun matinee of Cabaret (my second viewing of the show). The first thing I have to say is, spend the extra money, get the best seats available; it's worth it. The detail you can see up close is remarkable. The first night I was in Row Z and the show was amazing, the second time around I was in Row 2, and it was utterly incomparable. I could see the tears running down Andrea Goss' face as, once again, she killed "Cabaret" in the second Act. I realized with MUCH amusement that one of the Emcee's "Two Ladies" was actually a man in drag. I had no idea from Row Z lol.
There were subtle differences in each show, especially in Randy's performance as he plays off the audience reaction so much. So it's worth seeing more than once.
Randy's "I Don't Care Much" and Andrea's "Cabaret" were again my favorites.
The matinee crowd was actually a bit more enthusiastic than the Sat night one, which I found surprising. Randy's ad lib against HB2 got an incredibly long ovation; he had to repeatedly wave his arms to quiet the crowd before he could continue.
The show, of course, again got a standing ovation, with the most rousing cheers for Randy. See it if you can! ![](https://pp.vk.me/c633318/v633318430/29950/ObDC6pM8rLM.jpg)
