| "I’m hearing from friends in the current Broadway production of 'Cabaret' that the line is once again getting an audible response, but of a different sort. On more than one occasion in the past two weeks — since the election — a small number of audience members have squealed with laughter at 'She wouldn’t look Jewish at all.' In the late 1960s, we softened the line because the truth was too hard to hear. Today, it seems the line is playing exactly as the Nazi-sympathizing Emcee would have intended." |
