Life is a cabaret, old chum! At least it feels like that lately. Timeless and timely for the events we’re living through, John Kander and Fred Ebb’s beloved 1966 musical, Cabaret, is a classic for a reason. Set in pre-Third Reich Berlin, the vibe is such that people are looking for excuses to exercise their freedom before things go full fascist. Enter the Kit Kat Club, which is luring patrons with the promise of last-gasp debauchery and escapism — you know, the sort of things Vegas nightclubs also promise but never deliver. And, the story centers around a love story, so this isn’t just a wallflower’s account of a wily place.

And speaking of wallflowers: This is Majestic Repertory, which means the action will envelop at least some of the audience. You can choose to sit in the stands if you want to merely observe, or you can opt for a VIP table and literally sit as if you’re at the Kit Kat Klub.
