Cabaret

Renton Civic Theatre
507 S 3rd St. Renton

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920's draw to an end, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the cabaret. With the Emcee's bawdy songs serving as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin's natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken by English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally's boardinghouse, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Experience Kander & Ebb musical gems like "Willkommen," "Cabaret," "Don't Tell Mama" and "Two Ladies" when Cabaret comes to the Renton Civic Theatre.
