Don't know why JL was so well made-up in this version. I saw the revival early in the run (right after it moved to Studio 54 - with Mary Mc Cormick). This happens in the play right after Sally has an abortion. She's messed up - emotionally and visually - she represents the chaos in Berlin. She should be on the verge of a breakdown when she's singing this. N. Richardson did it very well.
I agree. When I saw a tour production in Arizona, the actress totally nailed it, with tears running down her mascara stained cheeks, and choking up, yet being forced to smile and sing.
The original concept is Sally decides to have the abortion while singing the song. Leeves plays that. I've heard that Jane Horrocks Hitlarian version represented Sally WHILE getting the abortion- and it makes sense if you watch it. It seems like Sam Mendes gave the actresses a ton of leeway on how to play it.
I loved this. I must be living in a cave, truly. I had NO idea that both Jane Leeves and actor James Stamos sp? were in this and that they could sing. I've seen all the clips available of them both thus far in Cabaret and just wish I could have seen the production in person.
+James N. O'Sullivan (The Nabster) Actually, I had the honor and pleasure of performing with Jane Leeves in this revival of CABARET at Studio54, and she was already quite established, to say the least in Frasier as Daphne Moon, or as you so graciously wrote "in physical therapy".
Finished an episode where Jane sings in 'Hot in Cleveland' I was amazed. That led me here. Now I'm on a quest to see what else she can do... Whatever she wants I'm guessing!
WONDERFUL! BRAVO! Would have LOVED to have seen her play this role on Broadway or on tour. I saw the show with Joely Fisher, who was amazing, but I would have liked to have seen this too. This shows how talented Jane Leeves really is, apart from her comedy chops. Thanx for posting! :)
And therein lies the problem. Sally Bowles is supposed to mediocre at best, and likely not good at all. Which is why she's working in a nightclub in Berlin that is second rate at best, on the eve of Germany turning to fascism. For a true representation of how the character is portrayed in the source material, check out Jane Horrocks.
Don't forget that JL was trained as and was a dancer first, and comes from the theater, specifically musical theater...so, as a "triple-threat," singing would be part of her arsenal, even if her strongest suit was dancing.
It's a pretty rousing moment, the irony of which is more palpable when you catch yourself laughing and cheering. And she is really, really great. That's worth cheering for.
I don't think I could ever laugh or cheer at this song considering the context in which it is sung. But I see where you are coming from. It just hits me too hard to think that cheering is at all appropriate
If you go back to the source material Sally Bowles is a below average singer. Search for Jane Horrocks version (who can sing) and delivers it as intended
@qsteve7k Mmm actually Jill Haworth was the first one in the 1966 original Broadway production and two years after, in 1968 on the London Production Judi Dench was cast as Sally...
@KoH4711 I love Jane Leeves. I just think she is super talented. You are definitely in the minority. She can dance, sing and act, and she is drop dead gorgeous. But that is my opinion.
She's great, one of my favorite actresses. I knew she could sing but I didn't know that she had done this. Was this the only part she was in or is there more to it, and if there is, do you know where I can find it?
I don't like musicals that much but I gotta say, Jane can really sing. Lol I had this song stuck in my head at work today lol. It's weird not seeing her as Daphne.
three weeks ago I seem her on frasier - from the when she entered the door ".. with mi hand in the biscuit tin" I was amazed by her. in hot in Cleveland she's amazing And here - TRULLY AMAZED BY HER Does anyone know if this play (with this cast) is for sale on DVD???
@laurenguthrie85 she was sally bowles in the most recent broadway revival of cabaret, I don't know of any other links to her performance, but she was a lead player with a lot of stage time
I'm doing this song for my upcoming audition. I thought about Don't Cry For Me Argentina, but I feel like I'd be able to hit the notes better in this song. Plus, it's more upbeat. Btw, what year was this from?
It's actually not supposed to be upbeat. At all. She just had an abortion (in 1930s Germany, so probably physically traumatic to her) and Nazism is taking over. She's supposed to have a psychotic break in this song. It's ugly and gritty and traumatic.
This is so very true. The only time she was ever played by a good singer was in the film, and the screenplay was completely rewritten and be bares little resemblance to the stage version. I prefer the rough Sally of the seedy Kit Kat Klub over the polished Liza version any day of the week.
I'm sorry, but am I, truly, the only person here who thinks that, not only is her voice terrible, but, if you HADN'T seen her from 'Frasier,' wouldn't care at all for her, as a performer? I do feel alone, so feel free to thumb me down.... but my god, she has little, to no, real talent. I, for one, can't stand her hitting that god-awful "note" once more.
@ddjmfan PS: When you say that I am "definitely in the minority," is that taking into consideration the number of people that actually bothered to look Jane Leeves up after 'Frasier' versus the number of people who didn't? If you're talking only about Jane Leeves' personal fan base, then I would have to agree with you. Otherwise, 'no', as is obvious from lack of people who even know who she is. If she had actual talent, she'd be more widely recognized rather than just as "Daphne" from 'Frasier.'
Well, the fact that you made no mention as to that horribly sounding "note" on the final syllable of "Cab-a-ret" should automatically void your entire opinion to me, but I'm slightly astounded that you didn't even bother recognizing it, in the first place. Whether the novelty of "Daphne" has worn off on you, I'm not sure, but I do know what is good singing and what is not. And that, sir, is far from what anyone would consider to be "good singing."
She's hemmoraging from an abortion in this scene Sally should be raw not on pitch.....when Susan Egan auditioned for the role with this song she intentionally didn't warm up
Jane Leeves is amazing at everything she does!
I can't get over how perfect she is.
Dang, not bad!! Who knew Jane sings. She is so awesome.

She delivers the song with great conviction
Yes! She rocks! Terrific voice!
I've never heard her sing before! Aw, she's amazing!
People are forgetting that this is filmed on a home video recorder....everything sounds louder and sharper.
I love her voice and her phrasing reminds me so much of Julie Andrews. I had no idea she has a VOICE. Wonderful clip.
I loved this. I must be living in a cave, truly. I had NO idea that both Jane Leeves and actor James Stamos sp? were in this and that they could sing. I've seen all the clips available of them both thus far in Cabaret and just wish I could have seen the production in person.
In the stage version, the intention is to stick to the notion that Sally isn't a singer.
And here we see Daphne Moon before her career in physical therapy

Very talented lady! And gorgeous !!
. Boy oh boy, could she ever belt it out ! Brilliant !!

Whatever she wants I'm guessing!
awesome! all that's missing is David Hyde Pierce playing the piano! :)
Absolutely amazing.

sally bowles isn't ment to b a good singer!! thats the point of the stage show, the film took that away from the peice
The only song that should sound 100% perfect is maybe this time.
Liza did it perfectly in the film... she wasn't happy at all... watch it again and pay attention to the layers of emotion under her "smile."
i wish her and david hyde pierce would do a play together sing and dance!
Oh Hell yes please!
@@emilygracey I agree!! I love Jane Leeves and David Hyde Pierce. I also wish Kelsey Grammer could join them to play together dance and sing!!
I love Jane Leeves! :
She's awesome I love her!! IMLOVE YOU JANE LEEVES! IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!! :)
she is a good singer...

why tf are people laughing and cheering? do they not understand the song at all?

@@alexanderomalley7053 Sry, it was contraception of the days...
I don’t remember this episode of Frasier
Enough!
She was stunning
Jane Leeves as Mrs. Lovett and Kelsey Grammer as Sweeney Todd. PLEASE!!!
lovely
this is so good, it's a lot like Jane horrocks performance
If you go back to the source material Sally Bowles is a below average singer. Search for Jane Horrocks version (who can sing) and delivers it as intended
Wow, she's great. I wish I had seen her on B_Way! Cool
@qsteve7k Mmm actually Jill Haworth was the first one in the 1966 original Broadway production and two years after, in 1968 on the London Production Judi Dench was cast as Sally...
I did not know she could sing! I do now! Great!
Wow this is amazing...always knew Jane could sing well...which year is this recording from?
She played Sally in 2002. I saw her perform the role twice.
i heard her on hot in cleveland. i didnt know she sang! shes goood!
@KoH4711 I love Jane Leeves. I just think she is super talented. You are definitely in the minority. She can dance, sing and act, and she is drop dead gorgeous. But that is my opinion.

I can only see Liza playing this part..her best work
Jean Zucconi Yes but Jane's not actually 'playing' anything! She is just singing the song.
Jean Zucconi you should listen to jane horrocks doing it, she really does the part justice. captures the character really well
I performed with Jane Leeves in this Broadway Revival of CABARET at Studio54 and I can assure you that she did much more than just sing the song.
saw her live at the Donmar wih Allan Cummin as MC
This revival is so different from the movie, so insisting that Liza is the only person who can play this role is ridiculous.
I don't like musicals that much but I gotta say, Jane can really sing. Lol I had this song stuck in my head at work today lol. It's weird not seeing her as Daphne.
It was enjoyable, what else does it have to be
Wow shes amazing :) Love her on Hot in Cleveland!
three weeks ago I seem her on frasier - from the when she entered the door ".. with mi hand in the biscuit tin" I was amazed by her.
in hot in Cleveland she's amazing
And here - TRULLY AMAZED BY HER
Does anyone know if this play (with this cast) is for sale on DVD???
@laurenguthrie85 she was sally bowles in the most recent broadway revival of cabaret, I don't know of any other links to her performance, but she was a lead player with a lot of stage time
Vocally, Leaves is an awesome powerhouse. Any issues I have with this, however, are with the directing.

Jane was on the Benny Hill show for a while,too..
Now, now!!!
imagine niles' reaction to this
This is Jane leeves not her character, don’t type cast
@@Frenziedgremlinit's a joke

@Jazzzkidd Okay, thank you.
Goddess & working class Venus:D
Holy cow, who knew?!?
Who plays the emcee in this production?
John Stamos!
English Lady does good in Los Angeles....... Its a norm for us Brits, think Tom Ellis in Lucifer!
I love Frasier!!
Again and again and again, this video is not available in thi
LOL
Who would have known!?
Her voice is great!
Move over LiZZZZZa

yeah, sorry about that ://////
phenomenal voice but she’s not rly acting through the song
Daphne Moon!
Is that John Stamos? That is god awful.
There's no character here...she's just singing the song...I bet she'd agree
I don't think she can actually sing. She can just raise her voice.
well since Sally isn't supposed to be a good singer, Judi is a far superior Sally.
How humiliating for JL.
pfft/
She can't hit a proper note to save her life.
Just a different interpretation. Try Judi Dench or JaneHoricks for a really different interpretation of this role-including the singing.
KoH Chris The character isn't supposed to be able to sing good???
Even text describe her feelings all over the place about hers events
Dense
She's hemmoraging from an abortion in this scene Sally should be raw not on pitch.....when Susan Egan auditioned for the role with this song she intentionally didn't warm up
I think Jane Leeves might be transgender. The video opening gave it away among other things 😱
How many transgender people do you know who gave birth to two children.
god i hate people clapping in the middle of the song
