Stage preview: At 50, 'Cabaret' still beckons

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: For 50 years, the Master of Ceremonies has been inviting us into the Kit Kat Club with a “Willkommen” and a conspiratorial wink.

The emcee promises us beautiful girls and a grand time, but life isn’t much of a cabaret in the world created by Joe Masteroff, with songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb. During the course of the musical, set in Berlin as 1930 begins, the city’s hedonistic underground gets its introduction to the Third Reich.
