Cabaret

“Stunning ... a masterpiece of musical theater penned as a cautionary tale and not at all leavened by the embrace of paradox.” —The Chicago Tribune

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

As the 1920s draw to a close, in Berlin’s seedy Kit Kat Klub a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the cabaret. Daring, provocative and exuberantly entertaining, “Cabaret” explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich.

Students of the CU Boulder College of Music Musical Theatre program perform golden-age mainstays, contemporary Broadway hits, cabaret and developing new musicals.
