Book by Joe Masteroff
Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Based on the play by John Van Druten and Stories by Christopher Isherwood
Directed by Lee Ann Payne
Musical Direction by Dan Singletary
Produced by Jen Maggio & Myra Diamond
Set during the decadent final days of the Weimar Republic, and based on Christopher Isherwood’s “Berlin Stories,” Cabaret introduces the interlocking stories of a cabaret singer, Sally Bowles; the American writer, Cliff who takes her in; a malevolent Master of Ceremonies; and the other local denizens mostly oblivious to the looming threat of Nazism. This dark, daring, and provocative musical offers a hard look at why life is most definitely NOT a Cabaret!
