Look at the darkest hit musicals - Cabaret, West Side Story, Carousel - they are exuberant experiences. They send you out of the theater filled with music.
My own cabaret is constantly evolving with what is occurring in my own life, so motherhood is a natural addition to it.
But what I like to sing mostly is blues and cabaret style.
Getting to do 'December Songs' in a cabaret-style format was so interesting because it's like a one-woman song cycle that actually tells a story. It feels like a theatrical experience more than a cabaret because I didn't talk in between. We went from one song to the next, nine songs in a row - bam - I told the story in half an hour.
I always loved fish for the colors and birds for the plumage. In the same way, I loved those women of the cabaret. They were birds of paradise.
I love deep cleavage on the foot. It reminds me of Berlin in 1930s, 'Cabaret.'
The most rewarding thing is being on Broadway. I went into Cabaret as a replacement and was really challenged beyond anything I could have imagined.
I hate singing. I hate dancing. I enjoyed doing 'Cabaret' and 'Assassins,' but I would wither up and die in 'The Music Man.'
I am the last of the Mohicans, the creme de la creme of cabaret.
Cabaret is a great format. All you have to do is sing and be funny sporadically.
