Cabaret at J's Wool Studio Theatre

Book byJoe Masteroff
Based on the play byJohn Van Drutenand stories byChristopher Isherwood
Music byJohn Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, an intriguing Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Daring, provocative and exuberantly entertaining, Cabaret explores the dark and heady life of Bohemian Berlin as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Composer/Lyricist. 

“Stunning... a masterpiece of musical theater penned as a cautionary tale and not at all leavened by the embrace of paradox.” The Chicago Tribune
