In 1930s Berlin, when Nazism came to power, Sally Bowles, a young singer and dancer in a night club called Kit Kat, falls in love with Cliff Bradshaw, an American whose dream was to become a novelist. At the same time, though of old age, Ms Schneider and Mr Schultz are living their own delicate love story, which cannot materialize into marriage because he is Jewish.

In 1930s Berlin, when Nazism came to power, Sally Bowles, a young singer and dancer in a night club called Kit Kat, falls in love with Cliff Bradshaw, an American whose dream was to become a novelist. At the same time, though of old age, Ms Schneider and Mr Schultz are living their own delicate love story, which cannot materialize into marriage because he is Jewish. Between humour and resignation, ludic and decadent, fulfilled dreams and shattered ones, the fate of the characters in the musical "Cabaret" are marked by a political and social context whose influence is just at the beginning. 

"Cabaret" – a world of fascination and deceit at the same time, whose scenic depiction and songs that have become hits of the genre, won the hearts of millions from the very first staging, in 1966.

Reviews

"The German Theatre's Cabaret is one of those performances one must see again and again. It is well sung, well structured, wisely staged; one of those productions you come back to with pleasure, a form of non-thesist theatre, albeit backed by an idea, a form of theatre that any type of audience can enjoy."

Monica Andronescu in Yorick, March 2014

"Răzvan Mazilu did in Timişoara exactly what he was supposed to do. He became an energy binding factor. He knew how to ask and he gracefully received what was given to him, from the people of the place. Before anything, he received absolute devotion, in the absence of which nothing aesthetically notable could ever result. He offered and received rigour. I do not know how many of the cast members are native Germans. Surely, not many. Yet, I know that the performance is, as they say, «of German quality», it works like a Swiss clock, and it has the sensibility, …

Mircea Morariu in Adevărul, March 2014

"The play area breathes naturally the evoked atmosphere, 1930s Berlin, the colour of the era with metaphorical nuances, completed by the no less evocative costumes, while the space offers dynamism and openness. […] Under the musical direction of Peter Oschanitzky, the wonderful instrumentalists expressively shape the themes that have travelled around the world in hits of many generations: Willkomen, Mein Herr, Cabaret. […] The young actors unravel here exuberant energy, exemplary dedication, eagerness to perform, dancing and singing techniques, obviously assimilated, and not just outwardly mimicked."

I do not know how many of the cast members are native Germans. Surely, not many. Yet, I know that the performance is, as they say, «of German quality», it works like a Swiss clock, and it has the sensibility, passion and rhythm of the Latin soul."
