Cabaret (1998 Version) is a book by Joe Masteroff, based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood. Music is by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb.

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, a garish master of ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the emcee鈥檚 bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin鈥檚 natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fr盲ulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally鈥檚 boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Musical numbers include 鈥淲illkommen,鈥� 鈥淐abaret,鈥� 鈥淒on鈥檛 Tell Mama鈥� and 鈥淭wo Ladies.鈥�

鈥淐abaret is not a new musical, yet its themes are perhaps even more relevant today than they were when the show first opened in 1966,鈥� said Director Dr. Elise Kieffer. 鈥淚t鈥檚 an honor to bring this important story to life with a group of phenomenally talented and dedicated students and faculty. I鈥檓 excited to watch our audiences be simultaneously challenged, captivated, and thoroughly entertained.鈥�

Cast members are also excited for the performance, which they said mirrors modern day realities.

鈥淔or me, the message of this show is that happiness doesn鈥檛 last forever. Life has a way of breaking you down into pieces, but always find the strength to build yourself back up again,鈥� said Traicoryon West of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, who plays the emcee.

鈥淓vocative is a word best used to describe 鈥楥abaret,鈥欌�� said Hannah Foote of Murray, Kentucky, who plays Helga. 鈥淭he musical is multifaceted and emotional, and like the word 鈥榚vocative鈥� the profane connotations associated with 鈥楥abaret鈥� may prevent some from seeing the show; however, it is their loss as the juxtaposition of good times and of darker realities fills the world which bears a startling resemblance to our own.鈥�
