Cabaret
One of the great Broadway musicals of all time - an exhilarating, harrowing masterpiece
Time Out New York
Why see Cabaret?
In Here, life is beautiful
A doomed romance in a city that dances on the edge of oblivion, Cabaret is one of the true classics of musical theatre, weaving together strands of debauchery and terror to capture a moment in time, that despite warning, is ever in danger of being repeated.
Featuring the unforgettable music of Kander and Ebb and a book by Joe Masteroff, (based on the novel Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood,) it is the story of an American writer and an entrancing showgirl who find themselves in Weimar era Berlin, as the shadow of fascism grows in the country. From inside the decadence surrounds of the Kit Kat club, they and their fellow artists, creatives, freaks and weirdos attempt to eek every last bit of freedom before the Nazis take over.
Timely, entertaining and indelible once experienced, don't miss this revival when it dances into the San Francisco Playhouse summer 2019.

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
