In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920’s end, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs and wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. The original 1967 production won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Featured Actress, Best Choreography, and Best Direction. This 1998 revival won four Tony Awards for Revival, Actor, Actress and Featured Actor.
Contains mature content and adult themes.
