Here’s the latest interview (number six in the series, collect them all) with some of the cast of the musical Cabaret, which takes the ARTS stage for its final shows on Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Renaissance Theatre in Huntington.
Here’s a short interview with one of the Kit Kat girls, Marnie Riddell:
Q: Cabaret is a hit Broadway musical and movie - tell us the basic story.
With the beautiful dancing girls, the beautiful orchestra, rollicking music and laughter, the Emcee welcomes the patrons of the Kit Kat Klub and beckons them to leave their troubles “outside.” As one of the Kit Kat girls, I feel we serve as a welcome distraction throughout the show to the chaos and tension in Germany at that time. We are the animated eye candy who entertain our patrons and make them forget the turmoil of the real world. This is best illustrated in one of my favorite parts of the show, what has been referred to as “the drag kick line” and provides a stellar opening for Act II.
Q: Why did you want to be part of this show?
As soon as I received wind of the word that ARTS was doing Cabaret, I jumped at the chance to be a part of the experience and was elated to be cast with such an amazingly talented group of people. I am even more honored to be a part of their first resident acting company in Huntington and the fabulous shows we have in store for you this year! So don’t miss you chance to see us in Cabaret and all of our great season of shows! I guarantee by the end of it all, we’ll have you laughing on the 23rd floor! ;-)
Thanks Marnie!
