Cabaret, set in Berlin during the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Third Reich, is the story of English performer Sally Bowles and her love affair with American writer Clifford Bradshaw. Much of the story unfolds through song and dance in the steamy Kit Kat Club, including such memorable songs as “Cabaret” and “Money Makes the World Go Around.” Fred Ebb described the era in which the two lovers meet as a time that noticed “people dancing on the edge of a cliff and not quite falling over.”
