SEASON EXTENDED DUE TO OVERWHELMING AUDIENCE DEMAND – 8 NEW SHOWS NOW ON SALE
“A dazzling spectacle”
— Theatreland, London
Berlin, 1929. Germany stands on the edge of an abyss. In the twilight of the Jazz Age, nothing is taboo at the Kit Kat Club, where boys, girls and everyone in between are living each day as if it’s their last. Caught up in a hedonistic whirl of sex and booze, cabaret singer Sally Bowles is blind to the gathering storm, but even she can’t run from the darkness.
With the shadow of the Third Reich looming, soon the world will change forever. Yet, behind the fading velvet curtains of a seedy nightclub, the city’s pulsing underbelly is still frantically beating back the flames.
One of the most iconic musicals of all time, Cabaret is spectacularly remade for the ASB Waterfront Theatre stage with a dazzling cast of Aotearoa New Zealand’s finest musical theatre performers.
Nomi Cohen (Chicago) stars as Sally Bowles, the role made famous by Liza Minnelli in the 1972 film, with Matu Ngaropo (Ngāi Tūhoe, Te Rarawa, Ngāti Porou) (The Lion King, Hamilton) as the mercurial and increasingly sinister Emcee.
So, come and hear the music play!
