About

Büyük Kabare was co-produced by International Art Shows Inc. and Devekuşu Cabaret Theatre. The show started at the Open-Air Theatre in Istanbul on 6 August 1982, and continued for more than a year and toured several cities, including Ankara and İzmir.[1] The tickets for the musical were sold out immediately in many cities, including the İzmir Fair where it sold 35,000 tickets over the course of a few days.[2] O dönem birçok çeşitli müzikal ve tiyatro gösterileriyle Türkiye'de şöhretlerini artıran Devekuşu Cabaret, which had improved its reputation with various musical and theatrical performances in Turkey, was led by Metin Akpınar and Zeki Alasya. The cabaret started to cooperate with Ajda Pekkan for the musical. Pekkan, who was disappointed due to her poor performance in the Eurovision Song Contest 1980, came to the stage with this show for the first time after a 2.5-year break. Thus, for the first time, she appeared in a musical.[1] Erol Dallı, a columnist who evaluated the musical in the Milliyet newspaper, said: "In this hasty cabaret, adorning the jokes with little swears and the disconnections between the episodes may not be appreciated by the audience. But still the Great Cabaret will attract a great number of viewers." [3] Some of the songs Fikret Şeneş wrote for Ajda Pekkan for this musical were included in Pekkan's Süperstar '83 (1983) album.[4][5]
