Cabaret at Weathervane Playhouse, Akron

CABARET
Book by Joe Masteroff
Based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood
Music by John Kander and Lyrics by Fred Ebb

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920's end, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee's bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin's natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally's boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. This show's memorable musical numbers include "Willkommen," "Cabaret," "Don't Tell Mama" and "Two Ladies."

AUDIENCE ADVISORY: Due to themes and subject matter, Cabaret is not suitable for young children.

Cabaret is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
