Description

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s 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. Parental Discretion is strongly advised. Cabaret contains mature themes and material that may be upsetting or triggering. Material and references include but are not limited to: strong sexuality, violence, and thematic elements such as Nazism, racism, antisemitism, and fascist politics. Cabaret is not recommended for children under the age of 13.
