"I am thrilled with the show's success," said Rick Lombardo, New Rep's Producing Artistic Director. "The public's positive response has been overwhelming."

"Our decision to extend Cabaret was a simple one," states Harriet Sheets the Managing Director of New Rep. "Ticket sales have been strong, and individuals who have seen the show are raving about the production and the amazing performances. In fact, many of our patrons have purchased tickets to see the show again."

Welcome to the decadence of 1920's Berlin where Cliff, a lost American writer, enters the Kit Kat Club and gets caught in a sea of painted lips and rouged cheeks. He meets Sally Bowles, a burlesque star, who ensnares him with her wiles. History is in the making as the Nazis rise to power. "Leeff all your troubles outzide," the Emcee advises, but the club begins to imitate that outside world, and those leering entertainers become more threatening than enticing. Winner of 8 Tony Awards, this popular musical includes such favorites as "Willkommen," "Don't Tell Mama," and "So What?"
