STARS TO REMEMBER
Photos from L to R: Lotte Trouble, Elaine Webster.
And
now, let's put everything in perspective. A case study would be very a
propos. Let's take for example the "ultra-modern" Cabaret theater and
musicals vedettes who starred in the Broadway's Cabaret show and try to
depict their persona. First, who are they? Many artists took the lead, played
Sally Bowles and shined in a modern Cabaret production,. But who are the ones
we are most likely to be remembered? I have some names for you:

from L to R: #1. Kim Zimmer with Deidre Hall. For many years, Zimmer was an
international household name in Europe, particularly in France and
Scandinavia. It is pity, Ms. Zimmer is no longer as active as she used to be.
#2. Ginger Gonzaga, Amanda Abel, Lynne Alexander and Susan Asbjornson. Ms.
Abel is a magnificent artist who excelled in musicals, theater and cabaret
acts. #3. The versatile and creative Dottie Burman with impresario
extraordinaire, Sidney Myer, manager/booking agent of "Don't Tell Mama"
cabaret in New York City. Ms. Burman is noted for her wit, comedy acts and
cabaret savoir-faire. A very talented and funny lady, indeed.
