Wilkommen! Originally produced on Broadway in 1966 and updated in a 1998 revival, Kander and Ebb’s Cabaret explores the dark and tumultuous lives of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. The story follows two couples: Clifford Bradshaw, an American writer who falls for British cabaret performer Sally Bowles; and Fraulein Schneider, a boarding house proprietor, who begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Meanwhile, the Emcee at the hedonistic Kit Kat Klub invites the audience to forget their troubles because “life is a cabaret, old chum!”
