ABOUT

Wellington Music Academy in support of The Life Flight Trust welcomes you to the 2010 Wellington Production of Kander and Ebb's Cabaret at The Garden Club from 13 October to 13 November 2010.

Berlin, 1930. "Wilkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome!" sings the devilish and derisive Emcee of the sleazy, sexy and glittering Kit Kat Klub as young American writer Clifford Bradshaw is slowly sucked into the debauched, decadent and desperate lifestyle of the Club, its provocatively giddy star (Sally Bowles) and the insidious rise of Nazism.

With unforgettable songs such as: Mein Herr, Money Makes the World Go Around, Maybe This Time and Cabaret, Kander and Ebb's musical reveals a world of voluptuous panic on the brink of disaster.

This is a charitable production: 100% of ticket proceeds go direct to The Life Flight Trust. Help us achieve our goal of a $72,000 donation (or put another way, 29 lives saved) by booking your tickets today. Thanks for your support; we know you'll enjoy a fabulous show.
