Cabaret, one of Broadway’s most beloved musicals will open at the Broward Stage Door Theatre on January 23rd. The Kander and Ebb classic will run at the Coral Springs theatre through March 15th.
Set in Berlin in 1929, the dark side of Cabaret is always off-stage, while the customers of the Kit Kat Klub play out their existence with willful disregard of their country’s future decay into madness. Cabaret is based on John Van Druten’s 1951 play I Am a Camera, which in turn was adapted from short stories by Christopher Isherwood. The city was captured by Isherwood during this transition period of cafes and quaint avenues, grotesque nightlife and dreamers, and powerful mobs and millionaires in his classic fiction Berlin Stories in which his most famous creation, Sally Bowles, appears for the first time.
Cabaret features some of the most iconic songs in musical theatre, including “Money Makes the World Go Round”, “Two Ladies”, “Maybe This Time”, and of course, the show’s title piece, “Cabaret”. It will also showcase dazzling costumes, and show-stopping choreography.
Cabaret has had several extremely successful revivals since it first opened on Broadway in 1966; it is currently playing at the Roundabout Theatre Company in New York to great acclaim.
Cabaret will run from January 23 – March 15 at The Broward Stage Door Theatre in Coral Springs. The theatre is located at 8036 Sample Road, in Coral Springs. Tickets for Cabaret are $38 – $42; $16 student tickets are also available.
