Cabaret

University Theatre at UW-Stout presents the musical Cabaret. Cabaret first

opened on Broadway in 1966 and the critically acclaimed production won the

Tony Award for Best Musical. In 1997, Cabaret went through an extensive

transformation for a Broadway revival. Once again, it received critical acclaim

and a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. Cabaret is set in a Berlin

night club on the eve of the rise of the Third Reich. The story and characters

reveal the circumstances that enabled the Nazi Party to flourish and the

destruction that followed. Music and lyrics are by John Kander and Fred Ebb,

who also gave us the smash hit musical Chicago. The score features such

numbers as Cabaret, Wilkommen, Don’t Tell Mama and the Money Song.

Eccentric characters and enticing musical numbers pull the audience in to the

debauched action of the night club and the emotional realities of the situation!
