Cabaret

Western Wyoming Community College’s Theatre Department will present Cabaret, on March 6, 7, and 8, at 7:30 p.m., with a public matinee on Saturday, March 8, at 2:00 p.m. This classic musical, made famous by the 1972 film version starring Liza Minelli, is recommended for adult audiences only. 

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, a garish 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 of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Musical numbers include “Willkommen,” “Cabaret,” “Don't Tell Mama,” and “Two Ladies.”
