Coming back to Prince George by popular demand is Kander and Ebb’s Tony Award-winning musical Cabaret.

Set in 1931 Berlin post-World War I, the story follows a young American writer Cliff Bradshaw as he looks for inspiration for his next novel.

Upon his arrival in the German capital, Cliff finds himself within the walls of the Kit Kat Klub, a sensual but seedy nightclub chaperoned by the sexually ambiguous and bizzare Master of Ceremonies - ‘The Emcee’.

It is here that Cliff meets Sally Bowles, a gifted and effervescent Cabaret performer.

As Sally and Cliff plunge deeper into a wild and strange love affair, the world outside the Kit Kat Klub is transforming and the realization of what types of terrors the Nazzi Party could bring to Berlin, sets in.

Executive producer, director and choreographer, Judy Russell, is beyond thrilled to be able to offer such a supreme performance to the community of Prince George.

“There is not just one shining star,” says Russell. “Every single performer is of such high quality; we’re dealing with very heavy subject matter and the cast goes from fabulous acting to incredible song to amazing dance all in one scene. This is a real dynamic, theatrical experience that we are providing here.”
