Description

Liza Minnelli, Michael York, Helmut Griem Cabaret brings 1931 Berlin to life. Outside on the street, the Nazi party is beginning to grow into a brutal political force, whilst inside at the Kit Kat Klub starry-eyed American, Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) and an impish Master of Ceremonies (Joel Grey) sound the call for decadent fun. Into this heady world arrives British language teacher Brian Roberts (Michael York), who falls for Sally's charm, and soon the two of them find themselves embroiled in the turmoil and decadence of the era.

Cabaret (1972) remains the benchmark for grounded, diegetic musical films, capturing the time, place and culture at a turning point in history and sweeping you along in the lives of compelling characters with a series of knock-your-socks-off tunes.

Directed by Bob Fosse from a screenplay by Jay Allen, which was based on the stage musical of the same name by John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Joe Masteroff. The original musical was based on the 1951 play I Am a Camera by John Van Druten and the 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood.

This event is part of Tinners Moon Festival 2024. For more about this see
