A nightclub romance unfolds as Berlin turns towards fascism.

DramaRomanceHistory
The story

American writer Clifford Bradshaw arrives in late-Weimar Berlin and becomes involved with Sally Bowles, an English performer at the Kit Kat Klub. Their unstable relationship unfolds alongside the lives of landlady Fräulein Schneider and fruit seller Herr Schultz, while the growing Nazi presence makes private compromise increasingly political.

In the room

Songs inside the Kit Kat Klub mirror and distort the offstage story, using jazz-age cabaret, satire and the Emcee's commentary to expose denial as the city's freedoms narrow.

Good fit if you like

political cabaret, morally uneasy romance, 1930s Berlin and songs that comment on the drama.
