One Song Stands Out
When speaking about Cabaret, many fans and critics comment on the film’s unique approach to its songs. It seems different from many other musicals at the time, and a big part of this is the ‘diegetic’ approach taken by Bob Fosse. The diegetic numbers of Cabaret always serve to advance the plot, and every single song bar one takes place inside the club itself.

The only song that isn’t performed in the Kit Kat Klub is ‘Tomorrow Belongs to Me,’ which is also the only song not to be sung by either the Master of Ceremonies of Sally Bowles. Oliver Collignon, in an uncredited role, played the Nazi youth singing this song, while Mark Lambert, also uncredited, provided the singing voice.
