CABARET

book by Joe Masteroff
based on the play by John Van Druten and
stories by Christopher Isherwood
music by John Kander lyrics by Fred Ebb
directed and choreographed by Erika Chong Shuch

Oakland Theater Project’s 2025 Season concludes with an electrifying new production of Kander & Ebb’s Tony award-winning musical Cabaret, directed and choreographed by Erika Chong Shuch.

In the twilight of the Jazz Age, the Nazis are ascending to power, while the hedonistic nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub carries on. There, a young novelist named Clifford Bradshaw meets a cabaret singer named Sally Bowles—but can their relationship survive the cataclysmic changes in the world around them?

A collision of decadent celebration and psychological thriller, the multi-Tony-winning musical explores the tensions between entertainment and complicity. Cabaret is no longer just a historical warning—it is a mirror held up to today’s world.

Cabaret plays at Oakland Theater Project from November 21—December 14.
