Cabaret

The Musical that Changed Musicals

When Cabaret opened in 1972, movie musicals were at an all-time low, following the failure of big-budget projects like Hello Dolly! Bob Fosse reinvented the movie musical, injecting Cabaret with a sense of gritty realism and paving the way for a new generation of films.

On the film's 40th anniversary, Liza Minnelli, Joel Grey, Michael York and their collaborators look back at the creation of this cinematic landmark, winner of eight Academy Awards.
