Moonstruck Theater Company is pleased to present the Tony award winning CABARET, opening Friday, July 19, and running for four performances through July 21. Performances take place at West Boylston Junior-Senior High School, 125 Crescent St., West Boylston, MA.
Take your seat at the Kit Kat Klub, the perfectly marvelous cabaret, where singer Sally Bowles meets writer Cliff Bradshaw. As the two pursue a life of pleasure in Weimar Berlin, 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 the coming storm. Immortalized on film by Liza Minelli and Joel Grey, with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by Joe Masteroff, CABARET is a theatrical experience like few others.
The production features 18 performers from the Boston area, including Somerville/Cambridge residents Christopher Brousseau as aspiring American author Cliff Bradshaw, and Courtney Duffy and Joshua Mauro as Helga and Klaus, dancers at the infamous Kit Kat Klub.
