Kander and Ebb’s
Cabaret
Directed and choreographed by Michael Disher
Musically directed by Robert Peterson
The hit 1966 Broadway production
produced 1,165 performances, and
spawned a 1972 film as well as numerous
subsequent productions. It is based on
John Van Druten’s 1951 play I Am a
Camera, which in turn was adapted
from the novel Goodbye to Berlin by
Christopher Isherwood. Set in 1931
Berlin as the Nazis are rising to power, it
focuses on nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat
Klub and revolves around a young English
cabaret performer (Sally Bowles) and her
relationship with a young American writer
(Clifford Bradshaw). A sub-plot involves
the doomed romance between German
boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider
and her elderly suitor Herr Schultz, a
Jewish fruit vendor. Overseeing the action is the Master of Ceremonies
(EmCee) at the Kit Kat Klub which serves as a constant metaphor for the
current state of society in Weimar Germany throughout the show.
The 1987 revival script and score will be performed which includes the
songs Willkommen, Don’t Tell Mama, Two Ladies, Sitting Pretty/Money,
Tomorrow Belongs to Me, I Don’t Care Much, Married, If You Could See
Her Through My Eyes, Don’t Go and, of course, Cabaret. Performances
in July and August at the Levitas Center for the Arts.
