Theatre …….March 18
The Neumann College Theater Ensemble presents Cabaret, “a musical with an edge” from the 1960s, was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film version starring Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey in 1972. The stage production enjoyed a very successful revival on Broadway in the late ’90s. Set in 1930s Germany as the Nazis were beginning their rise to power, Cabaret puts us in a world where people turned to sordid entertainment to distract themselves from the growing poverty, hatred, and violence around them.  Cabaret boasts a solid book and exceptionally fine songs by Kander and Ebb, including the famous title song as well as “Wilkommen,” “Don’t Tell Mama,” and “Tomorrow Belongs to Me.”
