Cabaret
Williams Theatre
As the roaring 20s give way to 1930, American writer Cliff Bradshaw travels to Berlin in search of new experiences and inspiration. He finds both in the hedonistic Kit Kat Club and its star, Sally Bowles. The Club, led by an enigmatic Emcee, is a decadent sanctuary that artists, misfits and performers call home. In here, life is beautiful while outside the Third Reich is taking hold, threatening to obliterate any sense of sanctuary for many. Life imitates art and vice versa as Berliners try to go about their lives, and Kit Kat performers strive to keep life beautiful as long as they can through wildly entertaining cabaret numbers.
