They are joined by Gregory Wooddell (Cliff), Naomi Johnson (Fraulein Schneider), Rick Foucheau (Herr Schultz), Bobby Smith (Ernst), and Maria Rizzo (Fraulein Kost).

Set in World War II-era Berlin, Cabaret follows the relationships of British nightclub singer Sally Bowles and bisexual American writer Clifford Bradshaw, as well as boarding house owner Fraulein Schneider and fruit seller Herr Schultz as the Nazis rise to prominence.
