Berko review: CABARET at Baldwin Wallace
by Roy Berko 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: “Cabaret” is an important epic musical theater script which gets a strong performance at Baldwin Wallace. The ending of this production was one of the most horrifying and effective closing scenes ever performed on stage. The long silence that followed it was a tribute to Bussert and her cast and crew. * *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. * <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
