The original 1966 version of Cabaret, the groundbreaking musical by John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Joe Masteroff, offered a stark and satirical look at pre-war Germany through the lens of the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy Berlin cabaret. The original Cabaret was a critical and commercial success. It won eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and launched the careers of stars like Jill Haworth (Sally Bowles) and Joel Grey (the Emcee). The original captured the growing unease in pre-war Germany through dark humor and social commentary, paving the way for future productions to explore the subject matter with even greater depth.
