From the creators of Chicago, a Playhouse sellout, comes one of the greatest musicals
of all time!

At a seedy night club in Berlin, as the 1920's draw
to a close, the Emcee bids us “Willkommen” and assures us, whatever our troubles, we will forget them at the Cabaret. Yet a dark shadow hangs over the people and places in this Tony Award winning musical. The inner story follows a young American writer Cliff, and his experiences in Berlin as an era of dark history is made. But it is the notorious Sally Bowles who captivates him and draws him further into the decadence of pre-war Berlin.

The music of this show in songs such as “Maybe This Time,” “Tomorrow Belongs to Me,” “The Money Song” and the explosive “Cabaret” put Kander and Ebb in the pantheon of great American composers, and propelled Hal Prince and Bob Fosse into shining new Broadway directors.

Cabaret played for 1165 performances on Broadway at the Broadhurst, Imperial and Broadway Theatres and for 336 performances in London at the Palace Theatre. It was revised for Broadway, first in 1987 and played for 261 performances at the Imperial and Minskoff Theatres, and most recently in 1998 at Studio 54, where it played for 2,377 performances.
