In
a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920’s draw to a close, a garish Master of
Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all
their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry
commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and
tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly
yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly
arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken by English singer Sally Bowles.
Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s
boardinghouse, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a
mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Musical numbers include some of the most memorable songs in theatre history; “Cabaret,“ “Willkommen,“ “Money” and “What Would You Do.“ This 1998 revival includes the additional songs “Mein Herr” and “Maybe This Time.”
