                       LAUDERDALE’S BROWARD CENTER

                                PRESENTS “CABARET”

    WINNER OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING TONY AWARDS
 
       What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play, for a limited two week run, from January 10 to 22, 2017. With a large talented cast featuring Randy Harrison, best known for his portrayal of Justin in the Showtime drama “Queer as Folk,” steps into the role of the  Emcee while Andrea Goss , a veteran of Cabaret on Broadway, returns to the role of Sally Bowles who is magnetic and spectacular in every way.


       Joining them are Benjamin Eakeley as Clifford Bradshaw, Alison Ewing as Fraulein Kost, Mary Gordon as Murray as Fraulein Schneider, Scott Robertson as  Herr Schultz and Patrick Vaill as Ernest Ludwig. Nineteen other members of the cast also double as members of the Kit Kat Band.


      The scene is a sleazy night club in Berlin as the 1920s are about to end. Cliff Bradshaw, a young American writer, and Ernst Ludwig, a German, strike up a friendship on a train. Ernst gives Cliff an address in Berlin where he will find a room. Cliff takes his advice, and Fraulein Schneider, a vivacious sixty-year old, lets him have a very inexpensive room.


     Meanwhile, Cliff, at the Kit Kat Club, meets an English girl, Sally Bowles, who is working there as a singer and hostess, who moves in with Cliff the next day as they are soon to be married. The story first begins at this point involving the Nazi party and the future of Sally, Cliff and friends. 


      “Cabaret” is choreographed by Rob Marshall with many great songs everyone will enjoy. Ticket prices starting from $35 up to $175, are available at the box office located at 201 SW Fifth Avenue, Fort Lauderdale.
