The classic John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Joe Masteroff musical Cabaret is set at the hedonistic Kit Kat Club in 1930s Berlin, which slowly morphs from an escapist haven into a den of Nazism as the party comes to power. The semi-immersive revival transforms the August Wilson Theatre into the club with Tony Award-winning production design by Tom Scutt.
