Cabaret

Why see Cabaret?

Provocative and especially prescient for today's audiences, don't miss Center Stage's production of Kander and Ebb's iconic classic, based on the book by Christopher Isherwood.

In Here, Life Is Beautiful!

It's time to leave your troubles at the door, and walk into the beautiful life of Kander and Ebb's iconic musical, Cabaret. With a fabulous score including 'Wilkommen',' The Money Song' and 'Tomorrow Belongs to Me' and a wealth of salacious performances, Cabaret is one of the most exciting pieces of musical theatre, teaching us about the fleeting nature of our reality - and how to enjoy it while it lasts.

What Is The story?

First appearing on The Great White Way in 1966, Cabaret is based on writer Christopher Isherwood's time in the bohemian clubs of Berlin in the early 1930s. With decadence and sexual exploration being the first orders of business, Cabaret tells the story of one Sally Bowles, a daring femme fatale in training, and her new roommate, the shy runaway Cliff. On a mission to experience every sight and sound, Cliff follows Sally to the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy underground cabaret club presided over by the all-knowing Emcee.

But whilst the night goes on forever inside, the music is not loud enough to cover the ever-growing voice of fascism, as Nazi ideals seep into the city, and eventually the club itself.

Absolutely amazing show!

This is a phenomenal staging of one of the classic shows to ever appear on Broadway. Even if you think you've "seen it" -- trust me, you NEED to see this production. The emcee role is taken to new heights, as are so many of the key roles throughout. The director implies so many connections between Weimar Germany of the 1930s to America of today, it's almost scary. This is truly a Broadway-level production that you do not want to miss. Just go. ... Read more

Marvelous

Absolutely wonderful. Everything that you hope for in a musical but with a story that grabs your soul. Thank you for bringing this to Columbus. ... Read more

Excellent Show

Wonderful version of Cabaret to include acting, singing, and the musical accompaniment. The only flaw of the evening had nothing to do with the show itself, but the enjoyment of it, marred by, unfortunately, a long-standing issue: the hall's acoustics. We were in Box 8 this time, but have experienced this also in parts of the orchestra section at concerts. ... Read more
