This is a review of Cabaret as produced by Portland Center Stage. Before commencing the review, I must include a note about the unbridled gayness of this production. It is fabulous. Leading man Wade McCollum, one of Portland's most beloved entertainers, is gay. Director Chris Coleman is gay. The set was designed by a gay couple from Connecticut. Storm Large, who plays the over-the-top Sally Bowles is openly bisexual. She also debuted sales of her new album with a fantastic performance at Portland's Pride Festival this year. The romantic lead male character is clearly bisexual. The bold idea to ask a bisexual rock star to play the leading lady was suggested by gay author Marc Acito at a dinner with gay director Chris Coleman which was also attended by gay Willamette Week writer Byron Beck. read more >>
