Direct from Broadway, the musical masterpiece comes to Fort Lauderdale as part of their 50th Anniversary Season. The critically acclaimed and award-winning Roundabout Theatre Company is proud to present the national tour of Sam Mendes' (Skyfall, American Beauty) and Rob Marshall's (Into the Woods and Chicago, the films) Tony Award®-winning production of CABARET, playing January 10 - 22, 2017 at The Broward Center for the Performing Arts as part of the 2016/17 Broadway in Fort Lauderdale Subscription Season.

John Kander, Fred Ebb, best known for their legendary musical, CHICAGO and Joe Masteroff's Tony-winning musical features some of the most memorable songs in theatre history, including "Cabaret," "Willkommen" and "Maybe This Time." CABARET is set in the infamous Kit Kat Klub, where the Emcee, Sally Bowles and a raucous ensemble take the stage nightly to tantalize the crowd--and to leave their troubles outside.

The creative team for the North American tour of CABARET features the original Broadway direction by Sam Mendes and original co-direction & choreography by Rob Marshall.

Tour direction is under the helm of BT McNicholl (Spamalot) and choreography is recreated by Cynthia Onrubia (Victor/Victoria). The design team includes set design by Robert Brill (Assassins), costume design by William Ivey Long (Chicago), lighting design by Peggy Eisenhauer (Ragtime) and Mike Baldassari ("Nine"), sound design by Keith Caggiano (The Radio City Christmas Spectacular) based on the original Broadway design by Brian Ronan with hair and wig design by Paul Huntley. CABARET features orchestrations by Michael Gibson (The Boy From Oz), music supervision & vocal arrangements by Patrick Vaccariello (On Your Feet) and music direction by Robert Cookman (Legally Blonde). M·A·C. is the Official Makeup Partner for the production. CABARET is based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood.

Roundabout Theatre Company's acclaimed production of CABARET first opened on Broadway on March 19, 1998 starring Alan Cumming and Natasha Richardson and won four Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical. CABARET went on to play on Broadway for six years and 2,378 performances before finishing its run on January 4, 2004.
