Wilkommen!, Bienvenue!, Welcome! to the Cabaret... One of the best-loved musicals ever to run on Broadway and winner of 12 Tony Awards®, this show has touched millions around the world. Cabaret is divinely decadent and an extraordinary emotional journey into the seedy glamour of the legendary Kit Kat Club.
Singer Sally Bowles and Cliff Bradshall, a young American writer, seek the warmth of each other's company as their world - Berlin at the rise of Nazism - turns ever colder,
all under the sly gaze of the Kit Kat Club's Master of Ceremonies. Set in 1929 Berlin, Cabaret's artful observations about life, love and human emotion are timeless.
Based on the true-life observations of Christopher Isherwood, who wrote "The Berlin Stories" about his 1929-1932 Berlin experiences, Cabaret tells the story of an English woman's romance with an American writer set against the background of a crumbling Germany in the throes of the Third Reich.
