Cabaret
Kander & Ebb's Musical Masterpiece
Willkommen to the Kit Kat Club, the hottest nightclub in seedy, prewar Berlin; here, life is beautiful.
American writer Cliff Bradshaw travels to Berlin searching for inspiration. He finds it in English club performer Sally Bowles and they begin a torrid affair. However, outside their door, the Nazis’ impending rise to power heralds a brutal end to their decadent way of life.
Starring Wesley Taylor (NBCs Smash, Broadway‘s The Addams Family and Rock of Ages) as The Emcee and Barrett Wilbert Weed (Heathers: The Musical) as Sally Bowles.
Featuring the treasured songs “Maybe This Time,“ “Willkommen,” “Don‘t Tell Mama“ and the title song, Kander and Ebb‘s Tony Award®-winning masterpiece graces the Signature stage for the first time in twenty years.
“A stunning musical… brilliantly conceived. The New York Times
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SHOW CONTAINS FULL NUDITY, NAZI IMAGERY, THEATRICAL HAZE AND CIGARETTE SMOKING.
