Tommy Fawkes es un humorista que intenta triunfar en Las Vegas, donde el espectacular éxito de su padre, también comediante, le hace sombra. Él no tiene esa chispa, esa vena humorística, el "funny bones", que hace reír a cualquiera antes incluso de abrir la boca. El fracaso de su show hace que Tommy regrese a Inglaterra, a la ciudad donde su padre inició su carrera y pasó gran parte de su juventud. Lo primero que hace es buscar un compañero, un ayudante que forme un dúo con él.

Adaptation of the novel by Mary Wesley.
Herr Schultz
A filmed stage performance of the 1993 London revival. Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Skyfall) directed this new production for the Donmar Warehouse in London's West End. It starred Jane Horrocks as Sally, Adam Godley as Cliff, Alan Cumming as the Emcee and Sara Kestelman as Fräulein Schneider. Cumming received an Olivier Award nomination for his performance and Kestelman won the Olivier for Best Supporting Performance in a Musical. Mendes's conception was very different from either the original production or the conventional first revival. The most significant change was the character of the Emcee. The role, as played by Joel Grey in both prior incarnations, was an asexual, edgy character dressed in a tuxedo with rouged cheeks. Alan Cumming's portrayal was highly sexualized, as he wore suspenders (i.e. braces) around his crotch and red paint on his nipples.
