Cabaret

The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) Musical Theatre and Drama Conservatory is set to enrapture, dazzle and delight with its production of the Tony-Award winning musical, Cabaret.

The provocative and thought-provoking production takes the stage at the Coronado Performing Arts Center Friday, April 25-Sunday, April 27 and Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3. Tickets are available for purchase here.

At the elaborate and powerful musical, audience members will be whisked away to a Berlin nightclub during the rise of the Nazi party. But the Master of Ceremonies (played by Bruno Dominguez) assures them that, whatever their troubles, they will forget them at the Kit Kat Klub. Cabaret explores the relationship between an American writer, Cliff Bradshaw (played by Luca Hansen) and Sally Bowles (played by Katie Moreno) and features classic songs by Kander and Ebb.

The musical is packed with lots of fun and clever dance numbers, which are perfectly suited to CoSA’s “triple threat” performers who can sing, dance, and act, according to CoSA’s Theatre Performing Arts and Drama Chair, Barbara Wolf.

 

“The actors are having a great time with the amazing choreography,” said Wolf. “We’re all very excited for the numbers ‘Mein Herr’ and ‘Money.’ They are great dances!”

Cabaret is currently enjoying rave reviews on Broadway, with Variety calling it “a ravishing, gut-punching, timely revival.”

The original Broadway production opened in November of 1966 and quickly became a box office hit, winning eight Tony Awards. While the subject matter is challenging and the musical touches on mature themes, Wolf said that the overriding message is one of love and kindness.

“Cabaret has a profound message of acceptance,” said Wolf.
