One of the most popular musicals of all time, Cabaret is set in 1930 Berlin during the twilight of the Jazz Age and the Nazis’ rise to power. We enter the world of the Kit Kat Club, a place where everyone can be free in a time when the world is changing forever. There we see the relationship between American writer Clifford Bradshaw and English cabaret performer Sally Bowles.
