Cabaret

Recently Updated

"Cabaret" is a Tony Award-winning musical that premiered on Broadway in 1966 with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by Joe Masteroff. Set in 1931 Berlin, it tells the story of American writer Cliff Bradshaw and his relationship with English cabaret performer Sally Bowles. As the rise of the Nazi Party threatens the bohemian lifestyle of the characters, the Kit Kat Klub becomes a metaphor for the political and social decay of the era. The musical features iconic songs such as "Willkommen," "Cabaret," and "Maybe This Time," and has been revived multiple times on Broadway and the West End. The show's gritty and provocative themes, including sexuality and anti-Semitism, have made it a landmark in musical theater history.
