WHAT'S THE DEAL?
”Based on the classic novella ‘The Berlin Stories’ by Christopher Isherwood, Cabaret is an eternally relevant story about apathy during political crisis. The musical numbers are toe-tapping fun, but yet there’s something uneasy about Cabaret. It’s a celebration of being “other”. Since the original 1966 Broadway production and the subsequent Liza Minnelli film, it’s become a landmark of queer culture. At its heart, it’s a play that reminds its audience not to take the right to be different for granted.” — Buzz Center Stage
“Cabaret reflects humanity at its most vulnerable and perplexed. It offers a devastating chronicle of a society losing its liberal bearings and skidding toward a totalitarian abyss. Fifty years since its release, its uneasy themes, leavened by exuberant musical numbers, have lost none of their urgency.” —Little White Lies
