As part of her ongoing post-show Q&A series, on Thursday 29 August 2019, Mates co-founder Terri Paddock heads to Bromley for the start of Cabaret‘s new tour, starring John Partridge as the emcee. Got any questions?
It’s 1931. Berlin is a haven of divine decadence and the legendary Sally Bowles is about to take the stage at the infamous Kit Kat Klub…
Cabaret is directed by Rufus Norris, now National Theatre artistic director, with show-stopping choreography by Javier de Frutos, dazzling costumes and iconic songs ‘Money Makes the World Go Round’, ‘Maybe This Time’, ‘Cabaret’ and more.
Kander & Ebb’s landmark musical – based on Christopher Isherwood’s short novel Goodbye to Berlin, about life in Germany as the Nazis rose to power, and John Van Druten’s play of it, I Am a Camera – premiered on Broadway in 1966 and was famously made into a 1972 film.
For this new outing, presented by Bill Kenwright Productions, John Partridge stars as the emcee and Kara Lily Hayworth taking on the iconic role of Sally Bowles, with Anita Harris as Fraulein Schneider.
Cabaret tours to Bromley, Wolverhampton, Nottingham, Crawley, Chester, Dublin, Belfast, Leicester, Shrewsbury, Hull, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Malven, with further dates to be announced. View the full schedule here.
