With music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb and book by Joe Masteroff, Cabaret is set in 1930 Berlin as the Nazis are ascending to power. The musical revolves around American writer Clifford Bradshaw’s relationship 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 the ominous political developments taking place.
