“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.”

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!"
