I grew up wanting to play this role. My first voice teacher in LA was the vocal coach for Lotte Lenya when she played the role on Broadway.

What a lovely clip – just saw footage of Lenya singing the song on a PBS begging week show, only this after-
noon. In truth – your voice is better – more melodic, richer. Curious: who WAS that voice teacher? Would it
possibly have been Seth or Florence Riggs? Was working with a couple of coaches here when “Cabaret”
was first staged in New York & can’t remember hearing that anyone was working with Lenya.
Her name was Maxine Lusk.
Thank you.
