Bruiser Theatre Company was asked to open this year’s Allianz Arts & Business NI Awards with an excerpt from their production of Cabaret.
Here’s a short video showing the highlights of the ceremony, that took place at Theatre At The Mill, Newtownabbey in Northern Ireland, including some of the footage of the Cabaret medley.
The cast featured PATRICK J O’REILLY as the Emcée and KERRIE QUINN as Sally Bowles. The medley included Willkommen, Maybe This Time and Money.
Here’s a video showing opening night clips from the show and the response from the audience. The show stars KERRI QUINN in the role of Sally Bowles and PATRICK J O’REILLY as the Emcee.
Production values are of a very high standard, from Matthew Reeve’s multi-layered musical arrangements, played live on a raised platform, to Stuart Marshall’s atmospheric recreation of the Kit Kat Club, complete with crumbling proscenium arch, tattered curtains and dank, peeling doors.
Director Lisa May, choreographer Sarah Johnston and musical director Matthew Reeve all deserve much credit for a stupendous, sassy production that exudes sex and swagger before vaulting dramatically into darkness.
