Willkommen. Bienvenue. Welcome to the Kit Kat Club, the sultry Berlin cabaret where you abandon all life's disappointments at the door and embrace your wildest, most decadent dreams. Outside, Germany pulsates with danger as Europe braces for the Second World War. But inside and underground, the nightclub exudes life, love, and desire. The charming, volatile Emcee, the former star Sally Bowles, and the sexy Kit Kat Club dancers will whirl you through their sleepless, enticing world. Cast off your problems and join us for an evening of music, dancing, and a story you will not soon forget.

Cabaret, the thrilling musical about life in and around the underground music club scene in Berlin, 1929-1930, will be performed in a real Cabaret space this summer, as the opening show of the 30th anniversary season of Summer Cabaret.

Director Anna Jones says that Cabaret is "a play to be dangerous in." The production will fill the entire space of the Cabaret theatre, with Kit Kat Girls operating the spotlights, and telephones on all the tables, just like there were in ultra-modern Berlin, which at the tumultuous time when Cabaret takes place had more telephones than any other city in the world. ... read more of this article by Alena Smith
