CU Theatre Presents: CABARET, THE MUSICAL


University Theatre
April 8-10 & April 14-17 at 7:30pm
Matinee: April 8 at 2:00pm

Book: Joe Masteroff
Composer: John Kander
Lyrics: Fred Ebb

John Kander and Fred Ebb’s legendary musical turns 1931 Berlin into a dark and sexually charged haven of decadence during a time when political unrest racks the country, the economy has been destroyed, and millions of unemployed roam the streets. Cabaret opened on Broadway in 1966 and won eight Tony Awards.

Young American writer Clifford Bradshaw moves to Berlin and falls in love with 19-year-old English performer Sally Bowles at the sleazy Kit Kat Klub. As his writing progresses so does the chaos in the world around them, and he discovers the dark side of human nature through Sally’s callousness, the debauchery of the seedy cabaret, and glimpses of the impending horrors of Nazi Germany.

Cabaret is for Mature Audiences only.
