Welcome to Berlin. Relax. Be yourself. Leave your troubles outside. May 9 26, 2024

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome…to Cabaret! Our 23-24 Season closes with one of the most successful and poignant musicals of all time. The award-winning musical is brought to life through the transformation of Studio Tenn’s Turner Theater into a moody and seductive Kit Kat Club. Kander and Ebb’s legendary musical is about a British cabaret singer, Sally Bowles, American writer Cliff Bradshaw, and a leering and flamboyant Emcee, set among the decadence of 1929 Berlin. Cabaret explores the dark, heady, and tumultuous life of Berlin's natives and expats as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. As mounting fears and uncertainty rise outside the club, life inside grows more and more beautiful.

Musical numbers include "Willkommen", "Cabaret", "Don't Tell Mama", and "Maybe This Time”.
