Enjoy approximately an hour of authentic 1920's jazz music performed by the amazing Capitol Theatre Orchestra before stepping into the dazzling, decadent world of 1930s Berlin in Cabaret (1972).

Directed by Bob Fosse and starring Liza Minnelli, Michael York and Joel Grey, this acclaimed musical follows a carefree performer and an ambitious young writer whose lives intertwine amid the glitter and growing unrest of the Kit Kat Klub.

Featuring unforgettable songs including "Willkommen", "Mein Herr", "Maybe This Time" and the iconic title number, Cabaret combines spectacular choreography, unforgettable performances and a bold visual style. Yet beneath the glittering costumes and seductive cabaret performances lies a powerful portrait of a society slowly surrendering to intolerance and extremism. Featuring an Oscar-winning performance from Liza Minnelli and a memorable turn from Joel Grey as the enigmatic Master of Ceremonies, Cabaret remains a provocative, stylish and enduring film experience.
