** The young Nazi who begins the song "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" could be seen as a TearJerker moment for him as well. The audience never learns the boy's motivation for joining the Nazis but given how aggressively Hitler used propaganda on Germany's youth, the future looks tragic for him as well. He believes he will be part of the party that will restore Germany to its past glory, but in actuality he will end up becoming one of history's greatest villains -- [[ForWantOfANail a fate he might have easily avoided had he not been born at that particular time and in that particular place.]]

* GenreTurningPoint: ''Cabaret''[='=]s game changing MusicalWorldHypothesis had been seen before - ''Film/DarlingLili'' had all the songs as diegetic performances by the singer protagonist - but ''Cabaret'' was notable for finding a way to justify musical elements in a dark and gritty story.
* OnceOriginalNowCommon: The WhamLine where [[spoiler: Brian says he's slept with Maximilian too]] was shocking to a 1970s audience. Homosexuality had only ever been hinted at or relegated to subtext under the Hays Code - so that revelation was scandalous at the time. Modern viewers however can easily pick up on the {{foreshadowing}} and guess where the story is headed.

* QuestionableCasting:
** The announcement that London's 2022 revival would star Eddie Redmayne as the Emcee raised quite a few eyebrows. A lot of people said he seemed far more naturally suited to playing Cliff since despite being a good actor, he doesn't come across as someone who's a natural showman (which, in every interpretation of the character, is still the one defining aspect of the Emcee's personality). That said, when his performance was actually seen, it was acclaimed and touted as being a fresh take on the character that wasn't stuck in the shadow of Creator/JoelGrey and Creator/AlanCumming, which resulted in an Olivier for Best Actor in a Musical.
** The original production got this for casting Jill Haworth (''Film/{{Exodus|1960}}''), a twenty-one year-old actress with little stage experience, as Sally. Critics called attention to her lack of singing chops or charisma compared to Creator/LizaMinnelli, who had starred in Kander and Ebb's previous musical ''Flora, the Red Menace'' and had been under consideration for Sally. Producer/director Harold Prince stuck by Haworth, saying that Sally was not supposed to be too polished a singer and that Haworth delivered exactly what he was looking for, and she successfully played the part on Broadway for two years.

* ValuesDissonance: The film version has a sequence where Sally suggests that Fritz 'pounce' on Natalia to let her know how she feels about him. When Natalia tells her about this, she claims that at first she was shocked but then realised she liked what was happening. It teeters close to a NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization, but is played somewhat for CringeComedy.
