Public Notice

The “wunderbar” musical Cabaret by Kande & Ebb, which blended a feverish period of history with the vibrancy of a modern song-and-dance show -- and won all the available prizes and awards when it began its triumphant three-year run in New York in 1966 -- will be presented by Bay Colony Productions at the Orpheum Theatre from August 3 through August 12, 2007. Cabaret is set in Berlin at the beginning of the 1930s, just before the storm and the storm-troopers took over Germany, when a sense of impending doom drove people to a forced and frantic gaiety. As the Nazis begin their rise to power in Germany in the late 1920s, American writer Clifford Bradshaw(Dave DaCosta - Attleboro) visits Berlin. After making a few friends and finding housing, Clifford visits the sleazy Kit Kat Club with there EMCEE (Jeff Mahoney, Walpole, MA)and meets an English singer, Sally Bowles(Aimee Doherty - Walpole). The writer and singer soon fall in love. Meanwhile, Clifford's elderly landlord, Fraulein Schneider(Beth Morell - Randolph), gets engaged to a Jewish greengrocer, Herr Schultz(Steve Dooner - Weymouth) – not an easy decision given the increasing influence of the Nazis. Soon, Clifford discovers that he has been inadvertently helping the Nazis by delivering packages to Paris for a German friend of his, Ernst Ludwig(Bill Stambaugh - Holbrook). Clifford ends up deciding to return to the United States but Sally, after aborting their baby, decides to remain in Berlin.
