Cabaret
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
Director: Robbie Simpson
Associate Director/Choreographer: Jenilee Houghton
Music Director: Jake Hartge
Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome… to Cabaret, Kander and Ebb’s legendary musical masterpiece about British nightclub singer Sally Bowles, American writer Cliff Bradshaw, and the decadence of 1929 Berlin. With mounting fear and uncertainty of an emerging Third Reich audiences are lured into the sordid underworld of the Kit Kat Club. With the Emcee’s wry commentary, Cabaret explores this dark and tumultuous time with songs Maybe This Time, Don’t Tell Mama, Money, Cabaret, and more. To further complicate the growing unrest, a relationship develops between German boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider and her suitor Herr Schultz, a Jewish fruit vendor. Personal relationships, political loyalties and survival itself are tested in this American Theatre classic. Since its stage debut, Cabaret has been awarded multiple Tony, Drama Desk and Laurence Olivier Awards.
