Playhouse on Park Presents CABARET, Now thru 7/21

Beginning tonight, June 12th, 2013, Playhouse on Park presents the Tony Award winning musical "Cabaret" book by Joe Masteroff, Music by John Kander and Lyrics by Fred Ebb. Cabaret is an exciting and fun musical that uniquely explores an era where history was in the making!

Lights up on the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy cabaret in late 1920's Berlin. The Master of Ceremonies introduces us to a world where outside troubles do not matter and problems can be left at the door. In the 1998 revival version, the version we are producing, this Tony Award-winning musical features notable musical numbers including, It Couldn't Please Me More, Willkommen, Cabaret, Don't Tell Mama and Two Ladies.

This performance is suggested for audiences aged 16 years and up due to explicit sexual content and mature subject matter.
