MUSIC BY JOHN KANDER, LYRICS BY FRED EBB

About

Falcon's Eye Theatre brings the Broadway smash hit, Cabaret, to Stage One! In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920's draw to a close, a Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee's bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life in Berlin as Germany slowly yields to the emerging threat of the Nazis. Winner of the 1967 Tony Awards for best Musical and Composer/Lyricist.
