O.K. The "Cabaret" - read Burlesque, well, I've probably seen 1 too many. Not exciting. The Venue - upstairs at Saltlick - not at all suited, standing room with limited visibility and lots of blocking.
The audience - well, boring Calgary Theatre People. The kind of people Homer Simpson was thinking of when he said "...a Play ... A PLAY! WHAT COULD BE MORE BORING THAN A PLAY!!!". It's a fundraiser, so there's food and snacks - that's good. And they replenish it, so that's good because theatre people eat like every meal's gonna be their last.
But the act - fine, but you can't see it - or only in glimpses through the crowd, and these girls, I've seen 'em before in Nelson, wouldn't matter if I've never seen 'em before, Calgary, it's not the place to see Burlesque - Nelson, easy a dozen or more girls per show - this show, 3 girls, 4 acts, and really, I can't criticize, I've seen one too many burlesque shows is all and I need a break.
