The scene is a night club in Berlin, as
the 1920's are drawing to a close. The Master of Ceremonies
welcomes the audience to the show and assures them that,
whatever their troubles, they will forget them at the
Cabaret. His songs provide wry commentary throughout the
show. On the train to Berlin we find Cliff, a young American
writer, and Ernst, a German who surprises Cliff by putting
his briefcase among Cliff's luggage at the German border.
History is in the process of being made. Musical numbers
include It Couldn't Please Me More, Willkommen, Cabaret,
Don't Tell Mama and Two Ladies. We find Cliff on
the train again, now leaving Berlin alone. He writes about
Sally and the people of Berlin leading up to the Third
Reich. It has been a tumultuous and heartbreaking era.
