“What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play. Life is a Cabaret, old chum. Come to the Cabaret!” Join us at the Kit Kat Klub in 1929 Berlin, where the Emcee, Sally Bowles, and the cabaret girls perform each night amidst the uncertainties of the impending Nazi take-over of Germany. With songs such as Willkommen, Cabaret, and The Money Song, this show is sure to entertain.

My husband and I saw Cabaret this past weekend and while the Kit Kat Girls didn't live up to the darkness needed for this time period - the lead characters certainly did! The honesty between Schultz and Schneider of what people went through living during that time rang so very true. The angst of Sally Bowles was so believable. I got sucked in by Ms. Duvall's performance. The Emcee, Josh Wechsler, has the voice of an angel, yet left me feeling very uneasy about the story. As his character should! VERY well done. Stand out performances by Ismael Soto as Ludwig, Matthew Burnett as Cliff and Cathie Sheridan as Kost. I wanted so much more of each of these fine singing actors!
I wish the Kit Kat Girls (and Boys) had a better understanding of what a person performing in these clubs would have looked like and put across to their audience. But maybe the costuming and choreography didn't help them with that. Regardless, we're going back and taking friends. Solid lead performances.

I was hesitant to see one of my favorite musicals at The Palace; I feared they would clean it up. While I do think the Kit Kat Girls came off too nice and showgirlish (the choreography seemed to be at fault), the leads in this show made up for what was lacking. Josh Wechsler as the Emcee was an amazing combination of creepy and endearing and has a voice I would never tire hearing. Chelsea DuVall as Sally Bowles left her heart on the floor vocally and character wise (she could have used a little restraint in act 2 to show the inner turmoil- personal preference). Melita McAtee and Kyle Evans as Schneider and Schultz broke my heart. A real stand out was Ismael Sotto as Ernst. What a fine actor for such a young man. Kost is sometimes played for mostly comedic value, but Cathie Sheridan's portrayal of a hard working, conniving, nazi sympathizer with a voice that cuts to the back wall during Tomorrow Belongs to Me made for a powerful end for ACT 1. Her German verse of Married was stunning.

CABARET, Now playing at the PALACE THEATER in Georgetown is an absolute MUST to see. This is a wonderful old theater that has been remodeled to stage these wonderful plays.
JOSH Wechsler, who played the MC was absolutely outstanding, his voice, his dancing and acting were superb. Watch for him, he’s going places. Then there is CATHIE Sheridan who plays the “lady of the evening” whom all the sailors want to be with, has the most beautiful voice. She is simply awe inspiring. The entire cast has done a wonderful job. Cabaret at Georgetown Palace Theater is a must see! Bring your friends - trust me they will thank you.

I first saw Cabaret last August, and it quickly became one of my favorite musicals. Georgetown Palace's production did it justice and did not leave me disappointed. Set in the Kit Kat Klub in Germany in 1929, Cabaret tells the story of the American expatriate author Clifford Bradshaw, as he falls in love with a regular club dancer, Sally Bowles. Bradshaw is disturbed by the dark political tide sweeping Germany, and struggles to find a way to balance his convictions with his new relationship. Interspersing this story are musical numbers narrated by the Emcee, who I think is one of the most fascinating characters in all of American musical theatre. Josh Weshler plays the part beautifully, with masterful acting and magnetic facial expressions. Matt Burnett and Chelea Duvall have great chemistry as Bradshaw and Bowles, and all of the cast brings the story to life. Cabaret is a thought-provoking musical, and the production at the Georgetown Palace is one you won't want to miss.

A short drive to Georgetown transports you over to Europe and back in time with The Palace Theater’s performance of Cabaret. The Kit Kat Klub girls stroll up the aisles to set the mood, then join Josh Weschler (in his Palace debut as the emcee) to open the show with Willkommen, welcoming one and all to the seedy, little niteclub. The show’s latest import, Sally Bowles, is about to take the stage – and does she ever! Chelsea DuVall will blow you away during her numbers – her vocal expertise and operatic experience are beautifully showcased in Maybe This Time and of course, Cabaret. The show is wonderfully done, the costumes are appropriate for the show and era – but be aware – this is not a kid’s show. The sexual content, political issues, and revealing lingerie of the showgirls are all a part of the original musical – and none is left out in this show. That being said – don’t miss the opportunity to come to the Kit Kat Klub (The Palace Theater) and experience Cabaret for yourself
