Synopsis

Sing’theatre is proud to present CABARET, one of the most iconic and decadent musicals of all time. Featuring unforgettable songs like “Willkommen”, “Cabaret”, “Don’t Tell Mama” and “Two Ladies” this exuberantly entertaining show will transport you back in time to 1930s Berlin, where life is beautiful but dark forces are on the rise.

Directed by Hossan Leong and choreographed by Lisa Keegan, CABARET stars a talented cast of 18, accompanied by an 8-piece live band playing infectious music. The show boasts outrageous costumes and a lavish set that will transport you to the seductive Kit Kat Klub, where the flamboyant and sinister Emcee (Dwayne Lau) hosts nightly entertainment.

American writer Cliff Bradshaw (Vester Ng) arrives in Berlin and falls for the English singer Sally Bowles (Kimberly Chan), leading to a dreamlike romance. However, as Nazism rises to power, life in Berlin takes a dark turn, making CABARET a timely reminder of the dangers of fascism and the importance of standing up for freedom and human rights.

Winner of the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Musical and 8 Tony Awards, CABARET originally opened in 1966 and ran for over a thousand performances. With music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by Joe Masteroff based on stories by Christopher Isherwood’s novel Goodbye to Berlin, CABARET is a compelling, dance-driven musical that will leave you breathless and moved.

Don’t miss this unforgettable theatrical experience!
