A Quote by Elton John

I think that's the graveyard of musicians, playing cabaret. I think I'd rather be dead than work in cabaret. It's just so depressing.

Life is a cabaret, old chum! Come to the Cabaret.

Fred Ebb

I've always been a cabaret-vaudeville artist - an hourlong cabaret and a floor show in a hotel - somebody like that. That's my main forte.

Kenny Baker

What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play; Life is a cabaret, old chum, Come to the cabaret.

Fred Ebb

I played piano for cabaret stars and stuff and then eventually moved from my hometown of Perth in Western Australia to Melbourne, and somewhere in there, I decided to book myself a room and do a cabaret show of my own material.

Tim Minchin

A cabaret song has got to be written - for the middle voice, ideally - because you've got to hear the wit of the words. And a cabaret song gives the singer room to act, more even than an opera singer.

James Fenton

I have a great interest in Victorian musical & cabaret performances and Weimar artists so the references are there, to Cabaret and also All That Jazz and other films where, where there's a kind of (influential German playwright Bertolt) Brecht-ian approach, almost to the character standing outside of himself or, in this case, he's "self-séance-ing."

Andy Serkis

I didn't think I was right for 'Cabaret'.

Gayle Rankin

Getting to do 'December Songs' in a cabaret-style format was so interesting because it's like a one-woman song cycle that actually tells a story. It feels like a theatrical experience more than a cabaret because I didn't talk in between. We went from one song to the next, nine songs in a row - bam - I told the story in half an hour.

Laura Osnes

Usually I like playing other people. I like finding myself through other characters. But when you do cabaret, you are yourself. I think it's the most fun, and I tell you, if somebody had told me that, I would have done it fifteen years earlier than I did.

Faith Prince

I don't think I was considered to be a cabaret singer because I didn't have patter that was written.

Rita Coolidge

The subject matter of the show, 'Cabaret,' was more than risky. And the emcee I would be playing didn't have a single line of dialogue. Still, it was full of possibilities, and it was mine.

Joel Grey

It's fun! Just fun...I don't think of it as a cabaret act per se, I call it more of a gig, if that makes any sense

Frances Ruffelle

I've never done a musical, and I don't think I could do one, but I would love to play Sally Bowles in 'Cabaret.'

Lydia Leonard

I don't do so much acting work now, as there aren't the parts except for 'Tango'. So if I didn't have the cabaret work, I don't know what I would be doing.

Anne Reid

I do like musicals, but I'm not so well-versed in them. I would rather tell stories that just so happen to have a song in them, like someone has a cabaret number.

Betty Gabriel

I'm really excited to share cabaret, the art form, not just with the generations that are above me, but also my generation and the generation under me. I think it's an art form that's incredibly important, and I think that my generation is a little unfamiliar with it.
