Cabaret

Willkommen, bienvenue, and welcome to In The Spotlight’s look at CABARET, the 1966 musical by John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Joe Masteroff. We’ll look at the show’s source materials and inspiration (including the real-life woman behind Sally Bowles, who was a muse to more than just Christopher Isherwood, the author of the original novel), and dive into how the show changed form with each revival. With chat about Hal Prince, Brecht and Weill, Queer representation in musical theater, new Broadway theaters and Joel Grey’s face makeup…you’ll want to come to the Cabaret old chum.
