ALTHOUGH FISH-NET STOCKINGED Kit Kat Klub Girls flirtatiously slink into the audience early on the Cabot House Production of Cabaret never completely ensnares us. The play offers views of both a presumably typical Berlin music-hall in the early 1930s and the particular strains on relationships at the time, but occasional unevenness and sluggishness in performances and direction too often dispel strong promises for both lasciviousness and poignancy.

To call her a bad actress is to make a gross understatement. Unlike "10," which asked only that Bo slink around a beach and look pretty--of which she is eminently capable--Tarzan demands that she exhibit a wide range of emotions, and that's where she fails miserably. When she is supposed to be frightened, she squeals: when she should laugh, she giggles; and when she should weep, she whines...
