Wilkommen |
| We
are welcomed to the Kit Kat Club in 1930s Berlin by a sinister Master
Of Ceremonies. He introduces us to the vast array of colorful characters
that entertain and live their fantasies at this local hangout. "Life is beautiful. The girls are beautiful. Even the orchestra is beautiful." Brian Roberts arrives in Berlin as an English tutor looking for a place of residence. He meets Sally Bowles, a singer at the club, who shares the room opposite. She agrees to allow Brian to use her room to teach English for 3 marks an hour. |
|
Mein Herr |
| Sally impresses Brian at the Kit Kat Club with her flamboyant performance. Amidst the audience is Fritz, a local gigolo, who is looking for an English tutor. He meets Brian and the lessons begin. |
|
Maybe This Time |
| Fritz
becomes acquainted with Natalia, Brian's newest pupil, and seeks to
win her love. Taking Sally's advice, Fritz throws aside formalities
and makes love to Natalia. She realizes her love for Fritz but rejects
his proposal of marriage because she is a Jew. Brian and Sally also realize their love for each other. "Maybe this time I'll be lucky. Love won't hurry away." |
|
Money Money |
| At the local Laundromat, Sally meets Maximilian von Heune, a wealthy baron who lifts her of her feet. Brian is far from impressed but can feel the trio's tightness of emotions. They are becoming more than just good friends. |
|
Two Ladies |
| As Brian warms to Max, Sally knows that all is not what it seems. The group is becoming closer. Max decides to take the two for a holiday in Africa. |
|
Tomorrow Belongs |
| At
a country pub, Brian and Max witness the rise of Nazi leadership as
a young boy sings of Germany and the evident takeover. He is joined
by a mass of spectators. Returning home from the outing with Max, Brian admits to Sally that they had an affair. "Screw Maximilian!. I do. So do I" |
|
If You Could See |
| Fritz admits to Natalia that he is a Jew and she agrees to marry him. Sally, on the other hand, has an abortion once she realizes that she is not suited as a mother. |
|
Cabaret |
| Brian leaves Berlin and the couple part as friends. We last see her singing the title song at the lonely Kit Kat Club and the Master Of Ceremonies bid us farewell. |

Cabaret
From Stage to Screen |
|
Never
has a stage musical received such an altered transition to screen
with such success. What was once a bizarre musical is now an Oscar-drenched
dramatic movie with songs thrown in. Winner of 8 Oscars, the film
Cabaret was given a new script with new characters and new songs.
Several of the original songs were replaced with Mein Herr and Maybe
This Time, whereas Natalia and Fritz replaced the characters of Schneider
and the grocer. Joel Grey reprises as the Master Of Ceremonies (Best
Supporting Actor) and Liza Minnelli and Michael York (Sally and Brian)
portray the characters with the depth required for a piece of this
standard. Cabaret is a drama within a musical. All the songs occur
at the Kit Kat Club, which tell the story that unfolds. The setting
of a sleazy nightclub is purely incidental. |

Thanks to Kristian Fletcher from Austrailia for supplying the stage
