Berlin, 1931. A seedy nightclub where the music is hot, the jokes are blue, and every body feels at home. Based on Christopher Isherwood's iconic Berlin Stories, Kander & Ebb's groundbreaking 1966 musical explores the dizzying moment when citizens and expats alike reveled in newfound freedoms, even as the fascists pushed to power. Few musicals remain as fiercely entertaining or as startlingly urgent. Guest director Jon Tracy (TheatreFIRST) reinvents CABARET for a new century, inviting us to ask again: What did they see? When did they know? Why did they look away?
