Stage Left Returns to Eagle Theatre with Cabaret 8/12-27

Stage Left Productions, the same company that brought The Who's Tommy to Hammonton, will perform the classic musical Cabaret at the Eagle Theatre, located at 208 Vine Street in Downtown Hammonton, at 8pm on August 12, 13, 19, 20, 25, 26, and 27, and 2pm on August 14 and 21.

Set in Berlin against the backdrop of pre-WW2 Germany, Cabaret is centered on the love affair between a young American writer, Clifford, and a British singer, Sally. The relationship of these characters is Cabaret's center of gravity-around which the Nazi threat steadily grows stronger, and the approach of war becomes imminent.

Cabaret is widely known for its brilliant musical score by Kander and Ebb which includes "Wilkommen," "Money," and the timeless hit "Cabaret". Cabaret premiered on Broadway in 1967, and has since enjoyed several revivals, most recently in 1998. It was also made into an Academy Award winning film directed by Bob Fosse and starring Liza Minelli and Joel Grey.

This production on The Eagle Theatre Stage stars some of South Jersey's best performers, including eXposed Theatre Group owner Brian Peeke as the Emcee and Jennie Knackstedt as Sally Bowles. The show is directed by Elizabeth Rodriguez and is musical directed by two-time Barrymore Award Nominee Collin Maier.

Tickets for this performance are $20 GA. Additionally, a very limited number of reserved seating at cabaret-style tables are available for $30. They can be purchased at TheEagleTheatre.com.
