I Am a Cabaret
By Wilfrid Sheed
Cabaret
directed by Bob Fosse, screenplay by Jay Allen
If they keep doing versions of Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories, some day they're going to get it right. The saga of Herr Issyvoo and Sally Bowles has turned up by now in every form but roller-skating ballet, for all the world as though it were one of the sturdy myths of the West, instead of a wispy nuanced memory that has to be told right or not at all.
