Cabaret

“There was a city called Berlin, in a country called Germany. There was a cabaret, and there was a master of ceremonies. It was the end of the world, and I was dancing with Sally Bowles – and we were both fast asleep.”

Having debuted on Broadway in 1966, the Tony Award-winning Cabaret was successfully revived in 1998. It was also adapted for the screen into an Academy Award-winning film, directed by Bob Fosse. Set at “The Kit Kat Klub” in 1929-30 Berlin, Germany, the musical features a book by Joe Masteroff, lyrics by Fred Ebb and music by John Kander. This version is directed by Kimberly Poppiti.

Cabaret uses well-known songs and Fosse-style choreography to tell the story of the aspiring American novelist Clifford Bradshaw and the charismatic nightclub singer and dancer Sally Bowles who meet at the Kit Kat Klub. Their tumultuous relationship becomes increasingly complicated once Sally discovers she is pregnant.

Supporting characters include the singing and dancing “Kit Kat Girls,” the sexually ambiguous “Emcee,” and a variety of others who effectively and captivatingly comprise the rich and complex fabric of pre-war Germany.

The show contains adult themes, choreography and language.
