This sets the stage for the rest of the show\, which is the story of three relationships. \nCliff\, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin\, who is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles; Fräulein Schneider\, proprietor of Cliff’s boarding house\, who begins a romance with Herr Schultz\, a mild-mannered fruit seller; and the people of Germany to their country and the Nazi party. \n With the Emcee’s songs as commentary\, Cabaret explores the dark and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Weimar Germany slowly falls apart. Cabaret is an emotional examination of the rise of fascism and the banality of evil. \n  \n \nROLES\nCabaret has a wide variety of roles that range from extremely intense singing/dancing to almost zero singing/dancing. Please see the following breakdown! \nNOTE: GERMAN & ENGLISH ACCENTS will be used in the production as appropriate. HOWEVER we understand that not all actors will have the tools to perform in an accent successfully in the audition process\, don’t panic. We just ask you to give it your best shot and have fun.  We will be providing professional accent training material for those cast in the production.\nEmcee\nAny Gender – A sinister\, sexually ambiguous master of ceremonies. They move the story along and pepper the show with musical interludes. Complex and mysterious.

Upon reaching Berlin he quickly gets entangled with its underground party scene and political climate.

Also an “everyman” character\, relatable and sweet. – German Accent – Tenor. \nErnst Ludwig\nMale\, 30s – 40s\, an up and coming political figure in the Nazi political party. – Only sings a few lines in a single song\, more emotion needed than technique\, and must be a strong actor – German Accent – Tenor. \nFraulein Kost (will double as Kit Kat girl)\nFemale\, 20s-30s\, a prostitute living and working in Fraulein Schneider’s boarding house and often at odds with Schneider. – German Accent – Alto/Mezzo – Strong singer who can belt. \nKit Kat Girls\nRosie\, Lulu\, Frenchie\, Texas\, Fritzie\, and Helga.
