Cabaret

SYNOPSIS

The story takes place in the last years of the Weimar Republic, in a Berlin decadent and flogged by the crisis of 29. A city that continues to cling futilely to the illusion of those years of splendor that magnified it just a short time ago. Kit Kat Club, the nightclub of fiction, opens its doors every night to entertain an audience eager to forget, even if only for a couple of hours, the evil that hovered over their heads.

Ruled by its haunting and funny EmCee, Kit Kat Klub stages the coexistence between the unstoppable growth of the Nazi hydra and the feigned daily normality of the protagonists: the English singer Sally Bowles and the American novelist Cliff Bradshaw or the autumnal romance between Fräulain Schneider and the Jewish owner of a thriving greengrocer business, Herr Schultz.

With several of the most emblematic songs in the history of musicals: Willkommen, Cabaret, Money Money, Maybe this time … CABARET is the Broadway Musical that everyone should see once in their life.

REVIEWS

“The ‘Cabaret’ by Ivan Labanda: The actor is the great winner of the careful production of the Teatre Victòria. If someone provokes the blazing flash of this function is Labanda, become a sweeping Master of Ceremonies. The polyvalence of this actor climbs another step and has already become a winning letter for high-flying musicals. He excelled in ‘Scaramouche’ with his familiar comic vise and now he does it with an uncontrollable force and gesture. Always overflowing, it seems to be two steps ahead of the rest. ”

“An excellent job.”
