Get ready to be transported to the vibrant and tumultuous world of 1930s bohemian Berlin as The Phoenix Theatre Company presents Cabaret, directed by the theater’s artistic director, Michael Barnard. It will be playing July 31 to Sept. 1 and promises a blend of provocative storytelling and electrifying musical numbers.
Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome… to an experience unlike any other. Narrated by a mischievous Master of Ceremonies, Cabaret invites you into the intoxicating world of the Kit Kat Klub. Here, a struggling American writer finds his muse in the vivacious English singer, Sally Bowles. As the ominous shadow of the Third Reich rises, the Klub's eclectic cast of characters must confront the looming darkness or continue to lose themselves in the tantalizing allure of the cabaret.
Featuring iconic songs such as "Don't Tell Mama," "Maybe this Time" and the titular "Cabaret," this production is set to deliver a dynamic and poignant portrayal of a city on the brink. Director Barnard’s vision brings a fresh yet faithful take on this classic masterpiece, ensuring an unforgettable theatrical experience.
“Cabaret is a remarkable blend of haunting storytelling, comedic moments and breathtaking music,” said Barnard. “Amidst the gravity of the story, the infusion of humor provides a delicate balance, offering moments of levity and connection. And, of course, the music ties everything together, delivering an emotional and unforgettable experience that will resonate deeply with our audience.”
Treat yourself to an unforgettable evening of spectacular performances, gripping drama and timeless music.
