Caberet at Longmont Theatre Company

Cabaret is the story of young American writer, Clifford Bradshaw, living in Berlin at the dawn of the Nazi era. He becomes infatuated with the giddy, gaudy decadence of the place, epitomized by a sexy, vaguely dangerous nightclub called the Kit Kat Club; in particular he finds himself involved with its chanteuse, sad, flighty Sally Bowles. While Cliff and Sally drift, dreamlike, in this happy but desperate milieu, life outside turns ugly. As time passes, and the Nazi’s power grows, Cliff decides to leave the world of Berlin and the Kit Kat Club behind him, but Sally, believing that “life is a cabaret,” opts to stay behind.
