The Broadway smash-hit “Cabaret” is coming to Lake Tahoe Community College June 10-19.

“Cabaret” takes place in 1930, with American writer Cliff Bradshaw arriving in Berlin to search for excitement and “something to write about.” He visits the seedy Kit Kat Klub, where the enigmatic emcee, the enticing but self-absorbed singer Sally Bowles, and a raucous ensemble take the stage nightly to tantalize the crowd and encourage them to leave their troubles outside.  A complicated romance develops between Cliff and Sally against the backdrop of the rise of the Nazi party. As the two pursue their pleasure, the world outside the Klub begins to splinter. Sally and Cliff are faced with a choice: abandon themselves to the pleasures promised by the cabaret, or open their eyes and face Germany’s coming storm.

LTCC’s version of “Cabaret” mirrors the ground-breaking 1998 revival on Broadway starring Alan Cummings and Natasha Richardson. That production closely follows the play, written by John Van Druten, which was based on original stories written by Christopher Isherwood.

Due to its adult content, this production is not recommended for children under the age of 18.

Performances of Cabaret are June 10 and 11 at 8pm, and June 16-18 at 8pm, and June 12 and 19 at 2pm.

Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 for seniors, groups of eight or more, students with a valid student ID, and children under 13. Tickets may be purchased in advance at LTCC’s bookstore Monday through Thursday. The box office will be open for ticket sales one hour prior to all performances.
