Description
Willkommen, bienvenue, and welcome to Center Repertory Company’s 2023-24 season finale, the Tony Award-winning musical masterpiece "Cabaret." At the close of the 1920s in Berlin, hedonistic nightlife thrives and expats, locals, and artisans congregate at the seedy Kit Kat Klub, where an irreverent Master of Ceremonies implores all to leave their troubles outside. In this hotbed for free expression and love, American writer Clifford Bradshaw falls for the club’s chanteuse Sally Bowles. As an ominous and violent situation emerges throughout Germany, some remain oblivious or apathetic, while others sound the alarm or flee. With provocative grit, scintillating choreography, and a highly celebrated score by Broadway legends John Kander and Fred Ebb ("Chicago," "Kiss of the Spider Woman"), "Cabaret" vividly brings to life the end of the Weimar-era jazz age, as the club’s nihilistic habitués mock the ominous political rise of the Nazis to power. Center REP Artistic Producer Markus Potter will helm this iconic musical.
