Cabaret--This musical about the degeneration of German society just before Hitler came to power is a heady production emblazoned in the tones of Kurt Weill and George Grosz. Most of the original cast is gone, but the Kander-Ebb score, the Boris Aaronson sets, and Harold Prince's direction--all miraculous--are still there. So is Lotte Lenya, who is as beautiful and gravel-voiced as ever. At the BROADWAY, Broadway at 53rd...

What ever his prospects in the next two years, Lindsay...
Zorba--A great serious musical about living, loving, suffering and dying. John Kander and Fred Ebb wrote the immensely theatrical score; Joseph Stein did the book; and producer-director Harold Prince tied it all together with a finesse the likes of which have not been seen since Jerome Robbins' heyday. Herschel Bernardi and Maria Karnilova are the leads, with a strong assist from gutsy-voiced Lorraine Serabian, who heads a Greek chorus. At the IMPERIAL, W. 45th...
