About Cabaret
Join us for a unique and immersive experience of the Broadway hit Cabaret! There is a reason this is one of Broadway's most revived shows ever, it is funny, sexy, thought provoking and moving all at once. Renegade presents our own spin on this classic, with immersive elements, a cast of incredible local talent and a live 10 piece band!
For accessible seating, we recommend outer aisle seats and Cabaret tables.
Get the ultimate immersive experience and be IN the Kit Kat Klub by buying a seat at one of our Cabaret Tables and be part of the action right up front! The Cabaret Tables are located right in front of the stage on either side of the band in an area that will be treated as a part of the performance stage. Cabaret Tables come with complimentary wine, sparkling or still water and snacks (please email us if you purchase a Cabaret Table seat and have any allergies or dietary restrictions). Cabaret Table seats are extremely limited!
We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before the show starts! There will be historical information, live performances and more ways for the audience to get fully immersed in the show happening before the main show begins and we strongly encourage our audience to arrive early and participate. Arrivals later than 15 minutes from show start time will be required to wait until after the opening number to enter the theater.

Synopsis:
Cabaret takes place from 1929-1930, a time when Berlin, in the midst of a post-World War I economic depression, is transitioning from a center of underground, avant-garde cultural epicenter to the beginnings of Hitler's totalitarian regime and the rise of the Nazi Party.
Into this world enters Clifford Bradshaw, a struggling American writer looking for inspiration for his next novel. On his first night in Berlin, Cliff wanders into the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy nightclub overseen by the strange, omniscient and gender-bending Master of Ceremonies, “the Emcee.” Here, Cliff meets Sally Bowles, a vivacious, talented cabaret performer, and an utterly lost soul. Sally and Cliff begin a relationship, which blossoms unexpectedly into a dream-like romance.
As time passes, however, the situation in Berlin changes from exciting and vital to ominous and violent. With a distinctly Brechtian dose of provocation and a score featuring songs that have become classics of the American Musical Theater, Cabaret is a fierce, meaty musical that pushes the boundaries of the form and literally holds the mirror up to nature.
