Cabaret

Telling a story centered around characters isn’t the main purpose of Cabaret, instead the message is built around the concept of the Cabaret. Located in Berlin, the Cabaret is a place where people can go to be entertained and escape the outside world and “leave your troubles outside” (Emcee, Cabaret). The Cabaret is a welcoming place to everyone no matter race or sexual orientation. It’s a place where people can be themselves and feel comfortable and safe. Taking place during a time when there

'How do the cabaret songs and routines comment on the social issues which are the background for the story of Cabaret?' Satirical on every level, Bob Fosse's 1972 film Cabaret redefines the previously accepted genre of the musical. Using the songs and routines as cunning tools of social commentary the musical numbers both predict and interpret the world of Berlin in 1931. The opening routine, 'Wilkommen', is a powerful introduction to the opposing worlds of the protagonists Brian and Sally and

Cabaret was set in the late 1920’s and was supposed to be a satire of the change of thinking and the rise of the Nazi party. Cliff Bradshaw was supposed to represent the Americans and how they had changed their ways of thinking. An example of this from the play was when Bradshaw was trying to convince Sally Bowles to leave Germany with him because of the Nazi Party. On the other hand, Sally Bowles was supposed to represent all of the individuals who did not want to see the changes in the world and

Cabaret starts off with the main character Sally Bowles, who is a burlesque dancer who works at Kit Kat Klub. Sally Bowles’ character is based off on the same Sally Bowlers in “Goodbye to Berlin”. I believe the interpretation of Sally Bowles is similar to the book, but I conceived her character is too overly-sexual in the movie, compared to the book.

The show continues on with a back and forth struggle between Sally’s free wheeling lifestyle and it’s consequences. After an unspecified

“What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play; Life is a cabaret, old chum, Come to the cabaret.” Fred Ebb wrote these lyrics for a song, sung by Sally Bowles, in the play Cabaret.
