Wilkommen and welcome to the hushed corners of the Kit Kat Klub. Here, a struggling writer, Clifford Bradshaw, finds out that life is beautiful when he meets the vivacious and hopelessly romantic cabaret performer, Sally Bowles. Desire comes to life in this epic smash hit musical, set in the twilight of the Jazz Age and the rise of something much darker. After all, “What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play! Come to the Cabaret!” Note: Cabaret has mature content warnings for the following: strong sexual content, domestic abuse and themes like anti-Semitism and Nazi-ism. It also includes drug and alcohol use, profanity, smoking, and references to abortion and the Holocaust.There are sensory warnings as well as there will be a live band and haze/fog machines in use during the production.
