Cabaret

Why see Cabaret?

Asolo Repertory Theatre present the iconic Broadway musical!

In Here, Life Is Beautiful!

It's time to leave your troubles at the door, and walk into the beautiful life of Kander and Ebb's iconic musical, Cabaret. With a fabulous score including 'Wilkommen',' The Money Song' and 'Tomorrow Belongs to Me' and a wealth of salacious performances, Cabaret is one of the most exciting pieces of musical theatre, teaching us about the fleeting nature of our reality - and how to enjoy it while it lasts.

What Is The story?

First appearing on The Great White Way in 1966, Cabaret is based on writer Christopher Isherwood's time in the bohemian clubs of Berlin in the early 1930s. With decadence and sexual exploration being the first orders of business, Cabaret tells the story of one Sally Bowles, a daring femme fatale in training, and her new roommate, the shy runaway Cliff. On a mission to experience every sight and sound, Cliff follows Sally to the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy underground cabaret club presided over by the all-knowing Emcee.

But whilst the night goes on forever inside, the music is not loud enough to cover the ever-growing voice of fascism, as Nazi ideals seep into the city, and eventually the club itself.

Excellent Show

Wonderful version of Cabaret to include acting, singing, and the musical accompaniment. The only flaw of the evening had nothing to do with the show itself, but the enjoyment of it, marred by, unfortunately, a long-standing issue: the hall's acoustics. We were in Box 8 this time, but have experienced this also in parts of the orchestra section at concerts. ... Read more

Almost a new musical from what I have seen beofore

It's been about four hours since we left the Keller Theater and I've finally stopped shaking. How can I have been so moved by a performance I've seen so many times, including the movie? I have also been exposed to Holocaust stories all my life,, and this one horrified me, all over again. The acting, the music, the set and the lighting were phenomenal Kudos especially to multi-talented actor/dancer/singer/musicians, and to he music direction. I was enchanted with how the pianist directed with his head, and moved around so he could be seen, but there was also music during blackouts. How did they do it? Thank you for an enriching theater experience. I am changed because of it. ... Read more

Top Notch

Just saw the show at the Van Wezel in Sarasota. Excellent renditions of those great tunes. Lead female and male vocals were 10 out of 10. Acoustics were also top notch. Clear as a bell. ... Read more
