Original "Cabaret" Line Drawing by Al Hirschfeld USA 1960's An original line drawing by famed caricaturist Al Hirschfeld, picturing the original cast of the New York stage production of CABARET. India ink on artist's board, with original pencil sketch marks and erased areas visible. Mr. Hirschfeld's familiar signature is slightly faded in the bottom corner, as well as "Boston 3" in his handwriting. "Boston 3" refers to the out of town run and the three Nina's (the name of Hirschfeld's beloved daughter) hidden in the work. The drawing depicts performers Jill Haworth, Joel Grey, Lotte Lenya, Jack Gilford, and Bert Convy. "Posted Nov 26 1966- 450 Auditing Dept." and "Cold Pressed" are stamped on the back of the board.
