Cabaret

Event Flyer

“A stunning musical... this marionette's-eye view of a time and place that was brassy, wanton, carefree, and doomed to crumble is brilliantly conceived.”

– Walter Kerr, The New York Times

 

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

Choreographed for LCCT by Joshua Peugh  

Musical Direction for LCCT by Irene Brink

Directed for LCCT by Katalina Hadfield

 

Daring, provocative, and exuberantly entertaining, Cabaret explores the dark and heady life of Bohemian Berlin as Germany slowly yields to the Nazis and the horrors of the emerging Third Reich.  As we follow the rocky progress of two star-crossed love stories, the leering MC of a tawdry Berlin night club constantly reminds us that "life is beautiful" and to ignore any unsettling glimpses of reality that may surface around us.  The dazzling score includes the title song, "Maybe This Time," "Don't Tell Mama," "Wilkommen," and so many more. 

"Come to the Cabaret, old chum!"

 one of the best on stage productions I've seen! Such a genderfluid production of Cabaret, one I will remember for a lifetime.

 Thoroughly enjoyed the production. Was not too crazy about the "before" entertainment as the dancers were dressed similar to the Cabaret players, so it kind of took away from the main actors.

 Great fun! The audience really got into it, cheering and clapping. The gender bending was audacious and hilarious. Behind it all loomed the precarious tone of a country already torn apart and reeling from loosing one war and, in reaction, about to descend into the perceived safety of an evil dictatorship.

 The singing, choreography and acting was fantastic! However the 2hours and 55 minutes pushed me passed my limits on sitting even with the intermission.

 This was the best performance of the three I have attended. Others were certainly enjoyable, but Cabaret was SUPER!!

 It’s been a while (like 30 years) since I last saw Cabaret but I’m glad I went! The cast and crew did a fabulous job. I had forgotten that the show takes a bit of a dark turn in the second act, much like Berlin took a dark turn in 1929. Still, Cabaret is a classic and LCCT did it justice.

 (2/2) Please consider doing this show again!!! Maybe every year of the current regime... more people need to see this!!! To me, this was 5,000x better than the movie and such a meaningful experience as a live audience member. The final scene was so moving, and the singing voices of the actors were star-level. Thank you all for your wonderful work producing this brilliant show at a time we need it most!!!

 excellent production! I specially liked the dance moves and some of the voices. The MC and main female character were professional quality actors and performers! This was our first experience at LCCT, since we just moved here, and we are looking to become a regular guest!

 Superb, hard-working, talented cast who put on a performance that could not be topped. Singing, dancing--superb. German accent--right on. Not really correct to label this cast as "community theater"; all is professional.

 Most gender fluid, weirdly bizarre performance of Cabaret I've ever seen. Lots of talent on the stage! Loved the choreography.

 Wow. Just wow. Cabaret as a whole is A powerful Musical, but the LCCT folks did an amazing job. You could tell they put their entire heart and soul into the production, especially considering that everyone was bawling at the end. This is something I will never ever forget.

 One of the most consequential plays I have seen. As relevant now as the 1929 Germany it is set in. Superbly acted and directed. I will tell everyone I know to see this play.

 An amazing evening. Travel back to pre-war Berlin and the efforts of the people to accept the way the world was going. A talented cast led by a director that knew what she wanted and got it. Great work by all involved and an evening that will stay with you for a long time. The talent and courage of the the cast and crew was a joy to watch. I recommend this show to all theatre goers. You will not be disappointed. I know I wasn't.

 Fabulous!! The cast was amazing! The sets were terrific. And even though it was opening night, it all seemed to come off without a hitch. Being set in 1929-30s Germany, the subject matter (Nazis, the start of the Jewish repression, etc) was difficult at times, but we all need to be reminded of what's at stake when "politics" take a bad turn. Well done! See it if you can!!

 Last night I saw Cabaret for the first time. I’ve always known about it but never really knew the story, so it was exciting to finally experience it. Having lived in Germany for five years, I loved hearing some of the language woven into the performance, it brought back familiar sounds and memories. The story itself was gripping, and the ending really hit me emotionally.
