Cabaret

Caroline made both her St. Louis and professional debut in New Jewish Theatre’s production of Cabaret as Fraulein Kost and Fritzie. The show opens NJT’s 27th season and runs March 20th through April 6th. The show was directed by Rebekah Scallet with choreography by Ellen Isom and music direction by Carter Haney.

The show’s initial run has been sold out and another weekend was added, selling out shortly after. Cabaret has been met with standing ovations and rave reviews. Richard T. Green from Talkin’ Broadway writes “Caroline Pillow is very fine as the young Fraulein Kost, every bit as sexually liberated and unrepentant as… Sally Bowles.”

James Lindhorst with BroadwayWorld St. Louis remarks that “Aaron Fischer (Ernst Ludwig), Caroline Pillow (Fraulein Kost), and the rest of the cast deliver memorable performances. Pillow and Fischer’s goosebump inducing reprise of “Tomorrow Belongs to Me” chillingly sends the audience to intermission with a foreboding dread. Fischer’s towering height and booming voice signaled the inevitable rise of Nazi power, and his presence was matched by the captivating Pillow’s powerful vocals.”

Other reviews have stated that Caroline is “a hoot” (STL Jewish Light), “memorable” and “lascivious” (Snoop’s Theatre Thoughts), and that “she hits the mark as the icy, cynical hooker” (LaDue News).
