Set in 1930’s Berlin during the twilight of the Jazz age as the Nazis are ascending to power, the musical focuses on the hedonistic nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub and revolves around American writer Clifford Bradshaw's relations with English cabaret performer Sally Bowles. Overseeing the action is the Master of Ceremonies at the Kit Kat Klub, and the club itself serves as a metaphor for ominous political developments in late Weimar Germany. The musical depicts Weimar-era Berlin during this chaotic interwar time period as a carnival of debauchery and despair inhabited by desperate people who are unaware of the national catastrophe that awaits them.

This musical contains strong sexuality, mild violence, and pregnancy loss. This production may not be suitable for all audiences.
