As the 1920s draw to a close, Germany is balanced on the edge of a bloody sword and a new regime is poised for a rise to power. But, inside Berlin’s fashionable, if tawdry, Kit Kat Club life is merry, the entertainment is superb, and the girls are beautiful. When the lives of a young American writer and the club’s most popular singer become hopelessly intertwined, the Kit Kat Club becomes the setting for romance, political intrigue and heartbreak. Throughout it all the Emcee keeps the audience’s eyes firmly on the passion onstage and diverted from the terrifying shadow of the Third Reich which looms just offstage.
