CABARET
music by John Kander
lyrics by Fredd Ebb
book by Joe Masteroff
directed by Erika Chong Shuch
In the twilight of the Jazz Age, the Nazis are ascending to power, while the hedonistic nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub carries on. There, a young novelist named Clifford Bradshaw meets a cabaret singer named Sally Bowles—but can their relationship survive the cataclysmic changes in the world around them?
A collision of decadent celebration and psychological thriller, the multi-Tony-winning musical is directed and choreographed by Erika Chong Shuch.
This contemporary Berlin-set production explores the tensions between entertainment and complicity. With the rise of the far right in Germany for the first time since the 1930s, Cabaret is no longer just a historical warning—it is a mirror held up to today’s world.
