Kander and Ebb’s legendary musical is about a British cabaret singer, Sally Bowles, American writer Cliff Bradshaw, and a leering and flamboyant Emcee, set among the decadence of 1929 Berlin. Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expat’s as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. As mounting fears and uncertainty rise outside the club, life inside grows more and more beautiful.
