Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome: “Cabaret” returns to Broadway
In 1966, when the John Kander-Fred Ebb musical “Cabaret” first appeared on Broadway, audiences were dazzled, and disconcerted, by the show’s depiction of life in early 1930s Berlin.
Joel Grey played the Emcee of the Kit Kat Club; he would reprise the role in the Oscar-winning 1972 film version, welcoming patrons to “leave your troubles outside!”
But it’s an invitation laced with menace, since waiting in the wings is the horror of the Nazi Third Reich.
