READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!!!!
‘Cabaret’ was and still remains one of the most daringly modern musicals; with its overall style and the seediness of the Berlin nightclub in which it is set.
The goings on at the Kit Kat Club appears typical of Berlin Nightlife in the late 1930Â’s, but they also serve as a metaphor for the chaotic world outside, and the rise of Nazism.
‘Cabaret’ was first produced in 1966, and the popular film version, was shot much later in 1972. ‘Cabaret’s’ director wanted to “present a challenge to audiences conditioned to the jolly predicability of musical theatre”. The film and theatre versions tell two similar, but not identical stories.
The musical is set in pre-Second World War Berlin. Based on the Diaries of Christopher Isherwood, it tells the story of Cliff, a writer and his acquaintance with a Cabaret performer, Sally Bowles, whom he meets in the sordid ‘Kit Kat Club’. It has a sub-plot of a Jewish couple Fraulein Schneider, and Herr Shultz, who have to come to terms with the uncertainty of their future together. The story is emphasised throughout by the eccentric, and sometimes camp ‘Emcee’, played superbly in the film version by Joel Grey.
The musical not only delights our ears and eyes, but moves our souls. This is the combination that has long made ‘Cabaret’ so entertaining.
The music was composed by John Kander, and the lyrics written by Fred Ebb. Quite a number of the songs from the musical were not used in the film.
An earlier film adaptation of the diaries of Christopher Isherwood, was the film ‘I am a camera’.
‘Cabaret’ undergoes another transformation in March 2001 at The Deen (The Aberdeen Hotel) in Northbridge as Scarp Theatre’s dynamic and dangerous premieres in this remarkable, atmospheric metro venue thanks to the support of ‘The Red Lion’. Inspired by the critically-acclaimed Studio 54 Broadway revival, director Jamie Cant has assembled a tight and textured cast to bring to life his vision of the work. Raw, young performers, many of whom are currently studying their craft at the WA Academy of Performing Arts, as well as experienced, pro-am practitioners from various backgrounds make up the ensemble of singers, dancers and actors. With an experienced band of musicians (led by Robert Graham & Steve Grant) and outstanding choreography by exciting newcomer Rainbow Calder, ‘Cabaret’ ala Scarp promises to reprise the punch and wit of the original text, honing it with a new edge and an ever-present sense of the sinister. ‘Cabaret’ promises to delight and surprise right to the last moment. . In early January the cast of performed songs and dances from "Cabaret" for a fundraiser / launch for the WA Aids Council" raising awareness of the importance of pets to HIV positive people.
‘The Red Lion’, ‘MAC’ Cosmetics and the ‘WA AIDS Council’ proudly support ‘Cabaret’.
