Come to the Cabaret at Center for the Arts at Kayenta!
November 12-21, 2021
Cabaret, one of the great Broadway musicals of all time, opens at Center For the Arts at Kayenta (CFAK) on November 12, 2021, and continues through November 21. Winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score, this theatrical masterpiece welcomes theatergoers to the Kit Kat Klub in 1929 Berlin, where a mischievous Emcee invites everyone to join cabaret singer Sally Bowles and Cliff Bradshaw, an American writer searching for inspiration, in a world on the brink. This timeless classic features iconic songs such as “Maybe This Time,” “The Money Song,” “Willkommen” and “Cabaret.”
Cabaret continues to attract both new audiences and return visitors more than fifty years after its initial Broadway production because it has everything – fascinating characters, iconic music, and a dazzling look that transports us to a different world that is still incredibly timely and relevant today. It’s a very engaging and entertaining piece.
The 1966 Broadway production of Cabaret (Book by Joe Masteroff, Music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb) is based on John Von Druten’s 1951 play “I Am a Camera,” which was adapted from Christopher Isherwood’s short novel “Goodbye to Berlin” (1939). The Broadway production became a hit film in 1972. Set in 1930 Berlin as the Nazis rise to power, it is based on nightlife at the Kit Kat Club. It revolves around an American writer, Cliff Bradshaw, and his relationship with cabaret performer Sally Bowles.
