Cabaret

Written by Kander, Ebb, & Masteroff

Berlin. New Year’s Eve. 1928. The air is full of sex, champagne, drugs, and jazz as aspiring American novelist Clifford Bradshaw’s train pulls into town… Before he can even unpack, [strangers] whisk him away to the Kit Kat Klub, where girls dance for him – and boys dance for him! – and the seductive, mercurial Sally Bowles seduces him into a life of joyful sexual freedom. Within days, Cliff abandons all pretenses of naiveté and starts raking in money on the black market, but he soon learns that no windfall comes without a price. As Germany grows politically stratified, the Nazis consolidate power, and violence erupts on the streets, Cliff and Sally must decide how much they can bear to witness.
