'Cabaret' directed by Lydia Bunk

Come and see a brand new production of the musical 'Cabaret' directed by former artist-in-residence Lydia Bunk.

This new version of the musical will premier on September 8, 2019 at the Theaterzelt Altenburg (Germany).

Cabaret is a 1966 musical with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Joe Masteroff, based on John Van Druten's 1951 play I Am a Camera, which was adapted from the short novel Goodbye to Berlin (1939) by Christopher Isherwood. Set in 1931 Berlin as the Nazis are rising to power, it focuses on the nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub, and revolves around American writer Cliff Bradshaw and his relationship with English cabaret performer Sally Bowles.

The 1966 original Broadway production became a hit, inspiring numerous subsequent productions in London and New York, as well as the 1972 film of the same name.

Additional dates can be found on the theater's website.

Venue: Theater Altenburg - Theaterzelt,  Teichpromenade 36, (Zufahrt über Zwickauer Straße), 04600 Altenburg (Germany)
