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
One of the most iconic and revolutionary musicals of the 1960s, Cabaret tells a story about the danger of complacency during adversity. The musical is set in a nightclub in Germany's pre-WWII Weimar Republic and follows Clifford Bradshaw, a young American writer in search of the inspiration for his novel, and Sally Bowles, a British nightclub singer performing in Berlin. Cabaret depicts a city clinging desperately to its decadent and carefree lifestyle while political turmoil looms overhead. How do we face adversity and allyship in times of crisis? The three Broadway runs won a combined twelve Tony Awards, the 1972 film starring Joel Grey and Liza Minnelli won eight Academy Awards, and the current West End Production won seven Olivier Awards.
Content warning: Cabaret contains mature themes and material that could potentially be upsetting or triggering to some audience members. Material and references include strong sexuality, profanity, drug use, violence, and thematic elements including abortion and historically contextualized images of hate. Please be advised.
