Description:
Step into the Kit Kat Klub—where the nights are wild, the rules don’t apply and no one asks questions . . . as long as the music keeps playing. As the 1920s draw to a close, American writer Clifford Bradshaw arrives in Berlin in search of inspiration. He quickly encounters Sally Bowles—a dazzling cabaret performer who draws him into a world of decadence and delusion. Inside the Kit Kat Klub, it’s all champagne, pleasure and escape. But outside? The world is changing—fast, and dangerously. “Cabaret” is a glittering, gut-punch of a musical—seductive, subversive and hauntingly timely. It asks the question: What would you do . . . if you saw it coming?
This Tony Award-winning musical promises an unforgettable evening. So grab your chums and spend a night where the lights are low, the music is hot, and—remember—“In here, life is beautiful.” Book by Joe Masteroff Based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood Music by John Kander Lyrics by Fred Ebb “Cabaret” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark, LLC.
