Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome!

The decadent world of 1930s Berlin comes to life in this Tony Award-winning musical masterpiece. An English nightclub singer, an American writer, a German landlady and a Jewish shopkeeper find their destinies linked and their futures uncertain as the rise of the Nazis party casts a shadow over Germany during the waning days of the Weimar Republic. By turns defiant and melancholy, brazen and gleeful, CABARET sizzles with thrilling songs, evocative dance numbers and a chilling storyline. Presiding over the action is the Emcee, who acts as master of ceremonies and serves as a constant metaphor for the current state of German society.

"Leave your troubles outside" the Emcee bids, as you step inside the deliciously decadent world of 51 Walden's own Kit Kat Klub where you'll be transported back in time to a place where individual freedoms are celebrated only to be overshadowed by a rising world evil. From the authentic 1930's Berlin club setting to its haunting, unforgettable music, CABARET is divinely decadent entertainment at its best.

"What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play…."
Come to the CABARET.
