I've unstubbed this page. It has all the basic information there, and even some more in depth info. Yeah, it would be nice if there was some more information, but all the bases are covered. If you strongly disagree, let's discuss it here. It was marked a stub back in July of 2004, and has grown a fair amount since then.- Michaelwsherman 12:02, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
It is a little odd that the plot is never discussed. Uucp 17:18, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Every source I can find, including the piano score, lists the onstage band as consisting of piano, tenor sax, trombone and drums, so that's what I put down. However, listening to the recording, I'm positive I hear a banjo in there. And this is the original cast, so I know it's not a 1987 reorchestration. Anybody have any information about this?

Can someone with better skills than me add a little about this new version starring Sheila Hancock and James Dreyfus? Cheers, Nats — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.15.219 ( talk) 17:27, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
The orchestration information is not only out of place, it is misleading. You get the impression that there are 3 soprano saxophones playing the entire time, which is untrue. Woodwind stage books emply doubling, where a single player switch between a bunch of instruments. It's not unusal for one person to play five or more instruments. The original orchestration has 4 woodwind books for 4 players. You can't sort this information by instrument. This makes it look a lot bigger than it really is.
Strings are just opposite, but still misleading. You don't have 3 violins. There are separate Violin I and II books. When you rent, you get 3 copies of each, with the expectation that you put two people on each copy. So, you have 12 violins, 6 on Violin I and 6 on Violin II. Clear, eh?
It's probably just simpler to link to the official site ( http://www.tamswitmark.com/musicals/cabaret.html), and drop this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.139.189.114 ( talk) 21:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:Cabaret OBC.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The entire synopsis added on Feb 8, 2009 replaced the previous synopsis. The newly added text appears to be a copy vio, from here: [ Tams-Witmark]. I'll look carefully at that Tams-Witmark article and site, and should this copy vio be the case, will revert to the earlier synopsis. JeanColumbia ( talk) 12:13, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

"In every revival of Cabaret, something changes in its score. There are many songs that are cut out of the score, then brought in, then changed somehow." Can this be written less conversationally? Something like "Every revival of Cabaret has included a change in the score, with songs being changed, cut, or added from the film production." And then perhaps notes after the song titles to show when songs were first introduced (like the film ones) or notable exclusions. 208.87.234.201 ( talk) 14:02, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
Surely this song, having developed something of a life of it's own in neo nazi circles, deserves a page of it's own? Adagio67 ( talk) 10:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Since Julie Andrews didn't take part in any production her photo seems superfluous accompanying the article. Mcljlm ( talk) 00:19, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
The captioning in groups of photos is inconsistent and not always clear:
"... Christopher Isherwood (first) and ... Jean Ross (second) ... "
"... Jill Haworth (first) ... , Joel Grey (second) ... and Lotte Lenya (third) ... "
"Sam Mendes (left) ... Alan Cumming (right) ... "
"Natasha Richardson ... and Neil Patrick Harris ... "
"Michelle Williams, Emma Stone, and Sienna Miller ...". For clarity it would be best to use at least (left) and (right), and (centre) where relevant. Mcljlm ( talk) 00:19, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
What's the source for "Black envisioned the musical as a star vehicle for singer Julie Andrews"? The relevant words of the The Making of Cabaret by Keith Garebian cited as the reference are "David Black ... had commissioned the show and sparked the interest of Julie Andrews" with no mention of "star vehicle" [1]. Searching a pdf version [2] shows the phrase only appears on p.xii [3] and p.15 [4] without mentioning Julie Andrews.
Presumably her manager's refusal "due to the character's immorality" is a paraphrase of Garebian's "to play such a part as Sally Bowles". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcljlm ( talk • contribs) 03:19, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
