Cabaret is a musical by John Kander and Fred Ebb, set in 1930s Berlin during the rise of the Nazi regime. The story centers around an English writer, Cliff Bradshaw, who becomes involved with the mysterious and free-spirited performer Sally Bowles at the Kit Kat Klub, a nightclub filled with decadence and dark political undertones. As their relationship develops, the looming political unrest begins to threaten their lives and the carefree world around them.

Composer John Kander tells a great love story in "Cabaret": Nightclub singer Sally Bowles and writer Clifford Bradshaw meet on New Year's Eve 1929 in Berlin. For a while, the newly in love couple's happiness seems perfect – despite their differing ideas about the future and their precarious circumstances. Sally lives for the day and sings at the famous "Kit Kat Klub" at night. Jealous Cliff can't deal with this. He is working on his second novel, but is in the midst of a creative crisis. Moreover, the mood of the "Golden Twenties" is increasingly changing, even in the liberal metropolis of Berlin. Fascism and anti-Semitism are poisoning society. Even the apolitical landlady, Fräulein Schneider, can no longer close her eyes to the rise of National Socialism.

After 25 years, Chicago is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one show stopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen. No wonder Chicago has been honored with 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy®, and thousands of standing ovations. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary — you’ve got to come see why the name on everyone’s lips is still…Chicago.

Hobby Center for the Performing Arts

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920's draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee's bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin's natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. 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. Musical numbers include Willkommen, Cabaret, Don't Tell Mama, and Two Ladies.

Aurora Arts Theatre

Cabaret takes audiences deep into the seedy nightlife of the Kit Kat Club on the eve of Hitler’s rise to power in Weimar Germany. Led by the enigmatic and dazzling Emcee, Cabaret is an intoxicating theatrical experience that follows the interlocking stories of a cabaret singer, a writer from America, and the denizens of Berlin as they are caught up in the swirling maelstrom of a changing society. 

We are excited to introduce Spotlight on Cabaret: a benefit to support the School of Theatre + Dance, Saturday, October 22. This new event to replace Splendor will offer a pre-show reception to exclusively meet the director and performers, enjoy refreshments and libations, preferential seating, and the excitement of the live musical production of Cabaret! We are offering year-round opportunities to support the School of Theatre + Dance and are shifting to “Season Sponsors,” wherein you will be listed as a sponsor in the program the entireacademic season!
