Cabaret New York Performances

First staged on Broadway in 1966, *Cabaret* helped fix the image of Weimar Berlin in the American theater imagination, using a nightclub frame to track private lives as politics harden outside the door. Kander and Ebb’s score and Joe Masteroff’s book draw on Christopher Isherwood’s Berlin stories, filtered through the stage play *I Am a Camera*. At Sony Hall, the title is recontextualized as a holiday-leaning cabaret evening hosted by featured performer Luann de Lesseps, with table seating and a full menu. The material’s enduring point is its refusal to separate entertainment from complicity.
