Cabaret
One of the great Broadway musicals of all time - an exhilarating, harrowing masterpiece
Time Out New York
Why see Cabaret?
In Here, life is beautiful
A doomed romance in a city that dances on the edge of oblivion, Cabaret is one of the true classics of musical theatre, weaving together strands of debauchery and terror to capture a moment in time, that despite warning, is ever in danger of being repeated.
Featuring the unforgettable music of Kander and Ebb and a book by Joe Masteroff, (based on the novel Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood,) it is the story of an American writer and an entrancing showgirl who find themselves in Weimar era Berlin, as the shadow of fascism grows in the country. From inside the decadence surrounds of the Kit Kat club, they and their fellow artists, creatives, freaks and weirdos attempt to eek every last bit of freedom before the Nazis take over.
Timely, entertaining and indelible once experienced, don't miss this revival when it dances into the San Francisco Playhouse summer 2019.

Cabaret at TPAC Nashville
I just left the show and loved it. I have
seen the classic movie with Joel Grey
and Liza Minnelli and while I know
nothing will be as good as it this was
very close. The MC really made the
show I enjoyed watching him even
when he wasn't the focus of the
scene. He was very true to character
and an exceptional performer. ... Read more

Top Notch
Just saw the show at the Van Wezel in Sarasota. Excellent renditions of those great
tunes. Lead female and male vocals were 10 out of 10. Acoustics were also top notch.
Clear as a bell. ... Read more

Almost a new musical from what I have seen beofore
It's been about four hours since we left the Keller Theater and I've finally stopped
shaking. How can I have been so moved by a performance I've seen so many
times, including the movie? I have also been exposed to Holocaust stories all my
life,, and this one horrified me, all over again. The acting, the music, the set and
the lighting were phenomenal Kudos especially to multi-talented
actor/dancer/singer/musicians, and to he music direction. I was enchanted with
how the pianist directed with his head, and moved around so he could be seen,
but there was also music during blackouts. How did they do it? Thank you for an
enriching theater experience. I am changed because of it. ... Read more
