Cabaret: National Tour February 9, 2010

"Wilkommen!, Bienvenue!, Welcome!", sings the Emcee of the Kit Kat Club through painted lips, as the people of 1929 Berlin join him. Whatever your troubles, you will forget them at the Cabaret. Sally Bowles, a middle-class lass from Chelsea , London , is working as a singer at Berlin 's Kit-Kat Club and trying her best to live the thrillingly decadent life which the city is supposed to offer. Into her orbit comes Cliff Bradshaw, a young American writer, and Sally soon moves in to join him in his room in the boarding house run by Fraulein Schneider. Their fellow lodgers include the cheerful whore, Fraulein Kost, and the gentle, graying fruiterer Herr Schultz. As the clouds gather, Sally, now pregnant by Cliff, is still determined to show the world what a good time she is having and she will not or cannot hear the noises of Nazism around her. But the others can. Winner of 12 Tony Awards, the classic Kander and Ebb score includes 'It Couldn't Please Me More,' 'Wilkommen,' 'Cabaret,' 'Don't Tell Mama' and 'Two Ladies.'
