The Kit Kat Klub offers everyone the chance to leave their troubles behind for the seedy world of “Cabaret.” Problem is, “Cabaret” itself isn’t problem-free but with characters knee-deep in their own emotional turmoil.

“Cabaret” is a musical revolving around Englishwoman Sally Bowles (played by Caitlin Ary) who works in Berlin’s provocative Kit Kat Klub. She meets and eventually falls in love with a struggling American writer Cliff Bradshaw (played by Rory Alexander). Interspersed between the pair’s courtship scenes are the Kit Kat Klub’s musical numbers and scenes showing the rise of the Nazi Party.
