WINNER OF 8 TONY AWARDS — INCLUDING BEST MUSICAL
Leave your troubles outside and willkommen to the decadent and debaucherous world of Cabaret. Far-right propaganda and antisemitism are taking over pre-war Berlin, but not at the sexy and seedy Kit Kat Klub, where outcasts and artists gather where life is beautiful!

CREATIVE TEAM
JOE MASTEROFF (Book) Born in 1919 in Philadelphia, Joe Masteroff had only one dream from infancy: to write for the theatre. After the essential lonely childhood and four-year stint in the Air Force, he came to New York to face his future: book writer or book seller? Luckily, luck intervened. Before long he had three shows on Broadway bearing his name: The Warm Peninsula starring Julie Harris, and two musicals, She Loves Me and Cabaret, for which he was the book writer. His other work included the libretto for 70, Girls, 70 and Desire Under the Elms and book and lyrics for Six Wives and Paramour. Thanks to indulgent parents, the New Dramatists, Hal Prince and many others, Joe Masteroff retired and lived in subdued luxury until his death in 2018.
JOHN KANDER (Music) & FRED EBB (Lyrics) Composer John Kander teamed with lyricist Fred Ebb to forge one of the longest-running and most successful partnerships in Broadway history. The current Broadway revival of Chicago is now the longest-running American musical in history. Their musicals include Flora, the Red Menace (1965); Cabaret (1966); Zorba (1968); 70, Girls, 70 (1971); Chicago (1975); The Act (1978); Woman of the Year (1981); The Rink (1984); And the World Goes ‘Round (1991); Kiss of the Spiderwoman (1992); Chicago (1996); Steel Pier (1997); Curtains (2006); The Scottsboro Boys (2010); and The Visit (2015). Their work in the theatre has been recognized by three Tony Awards (Cabaret, Woman of the Year and Kiss of the Spiderwoman). The film adaptations of Chicago and Cabaret are two of the most successful musicals on film of all time. Chicago was recognized with six Academy Awards including Best Picture. Cabaret earned eight Academy Awards including Best Original Song Score. Their work on the film New York, New York has resulted in one of the most enduring anthems of all time. The two have been honored with numerous awards, including the Kennedy Center Honors Award. Fred Ebb passed away in 2004. but Kander has continued writing — not only finishing the projects the two had begun. but also writing new projects including The Beast in the Jungle, Kid Victory and The Landing.
