Rick Lombardo will direct, with musical direction by Todd C. Gordon and choreography by Kelli Edwards.

Based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood, the musical has a book by Joe Masteroff and is set in 1920’s Berlin where Cliff, a lost American writer, enters the Kit Kat Club and gets caught in a sea of painted lips and rouged cheeks.
