Enhancing the entire setting is a huge brass and crystal chandelier hanging directly above and centered over the stage. It's a scene that is truly breathtaking, especially when the sun goes down and the lights in buildings on the circle come on. It's an image the Cabaret could effectively use in its promotional materials because it's so distinctive and the location is unlike any other place in the world.
Special thanks to Mark A. Lee, Great Exposures, for all photos of The Cabaret.
