Jennifer Smith, a veteran of 15 Broadway shows, sings very well as Schneider and Kevin Ligon (“Hello, Dolly” with Bette Midler) is very cute as her not-so-elderly suitor. The subplot that involves the doomed romance between the German boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider and her elderly suitor Herr Schultz, a Jewish fruit vendor, lends some lightness to the first act. Tom Fuchs plays the German smuggler Ernest Ludwig and Bruce Landry performs well as the author Clifford Bradshaw.
Equity member Aline Mayagoitia, who was born in Mexico City, does very well as Sally Bowles. The big numbers like “Don’t Tell Mama” and “Mein Herr” are just as effective as the more intimate solos that include Sally’s “Maybe This Time” and the title song.Įquity actor Jelani Remy gets up close and personal with the audience as the Emcee in his Goodspeed debut and makes the most of every aspect of this signature role. Adam Souza is the musical director who leads the six musicians in the tiny pit.
