Cabaret is a musical
based on a book written by Chrisopher Isherwood, with music by John Kander and
lyrics by Fred Ebb.
It is based on the short novel Goodbye to Berlin and is set in 1931 Berlin
just as the Nazis are rising to power. The play focuses on nightlife at the
seedy Kit Kat Klub and revolves around the 19-year-old English cabaret
performer, Sally Bowles and her relationship with the young american writer,
Cliff Bradshaw.
A sub-plot involves the doomed romance between German boarding house
owner Fräulein Schneider and her elderly suitor Herr Schultz. Overseeing the
action is the Master of Ceremonies at the Kit Kat Klub which serves as a
constant metaphor for the tenuous and threatening state of late Weimar Germany
throughout the show.
Admiral Costumes have a wonderful selection of costumes suitable for
this show including, matching tailcoats with sequinned lapels, sparkly
waistcoats, glamorous show dresses, nazi uniforms and 1930’s daytime and
evening wear.
