because why not, here is the most likely diegetic language every cabaret (1998) song is in

and yes not all of these songs are technically diegetic but cmon

anyway

Willkommen: German, French, and English, but as likely most of the Kit Kat Klub’s visitors are from Germany the spoken bits not translated twice are probably German.

So What - We can assume English, as based on both Cliff and Fraulein Schneider’s dialogue in the spoken scene it is implied they are both speaking in English (Schneider appears to not understand all of his words and speaks brokenly at times).

Don’t Tell Mama - Mostly English; the word “bitte” is kept in German, and is rhyming with “please, sir,” so it would make most sense if the rest of the song was in English. This would mean that the Kit Kat Girls (apart from Texas) are singing phonetically, which does not have to do with diegetic languages but is interesting to me.

Mein Herr - English and German. Again, it would make most sense that the English parts are English and the German parts are German.

Perfectly Marvelous - English. Cliff and Sally’s native language is English.

Two Ladies - German. There are no German words in the song that could imply otherwise and German is the native language of everybody singing (and the majority of those watching as well).

It Couldn’t Please Me More - German. Schultz and Schneider’s native language is German.

Tomorrow Belongs To Me - German, due to the song’s nationalistic nature.

Maybe This Time - English, as it is Sally’s internal monologue and her native language is English.

Money - See Two Ladies.

Married - Despite the fact that there is a part of the song translated into German, I think the rest of the song is also dietetically in German. It would make the most sense due to the reasons also for It Couldn’t Please Me More, and the intimacy adds to that. This is the one exception to “if there are multiple languages, there are dietetically multiple languages” thesis I’ve been following.

Tomorrow Belongs to Me (Reprise) - See Tomorrow Belongs to Me.

Married (Reprise) - See It Couldn’t Please Me More.

If You Could See Her - The sung part is German, see reasons for Tomorrow Belongs to Me and Two Ladies. However, the spoken part with some double translation (German to French to English) and single translation (German to English) indicates that at least a small portion of the spoken part (that isn’t these translations) is dietetically in English.

What Would You Do - We can assume English with this one too, as Sally reacts to Schneider’s words and seems to have understood what she just said. Sally does not understand German, as she reveals in the scene before Perfectly Marvelous.

I Don’t Care Much - See Tomorrow Belongs to Me.

Cabaret - This is the one I’m least sure about. Sally is singing it, so we might think English. However, now definitely the vast majority of the audience is German and wanting to hear German songs. At the same time though, Sally doesn’t understand German, and she definitely knows what she’s singing. She is also marketed as “a talented young lady from England,” so I’m going to go with English for this one.

Finale - See Willkommen.

Downtown revamp: The Hub

Because is it even a gay bar if you don't use the neon flamingo rainbow?

floorplan and more:

My concept for this one was keeping the open air restaurant, but making it look like it's almost a separate entity. I changed the shell to give it an entrance modeled after 80's Miami clubs, and kept a lot of the same furniture on the interior, but decorated more in a "Miami Vice-ish" style with the blue and fuchsia neons. I got rid of that skinny pool in the front and made it into a swimmable pool out back, with a hammock as a whoohoo spot.

Obsessed with Sally Bowles. "Oh, my roommate is gay. That's fine, it's just how I like to paint my fingernails green." I love her and the way her mind works.
