This production of this dark, classy, classic musical won 11 Mercury Durban Theatre Awards when it premiered in August 2011, including Best Production of a Musical, Best Director and Best Designer.

Set in Berlin’s seedy Kit Kat Klub, 1931, the show revolves around cabaret performer Sally Bowles, a faded, jaded, good-time girl (made famous by Liza Minelli in the 1972 movie) and her relationship with young American writer Cliff Bradshaw.

Adding to the divinely decadent atmosphere is German musical theatre star Sascha Halbhuber making his South African debut as the sinister, sexy Master of Ceremonies, Emcee.

This production is age restricted PG 13.
