Cabaret is the story of Cliff Bradshaw, an American writer who comes to Berlin at the dawn of the Hitler era in 1929. He falls in with the cast of the decadent Kit Kat Klub and takes as his roommate the club's former star attraction - Sally Bowles. As he struggles to write a novel, he witnesses the blindness and self-deception of a group of people who allow Nazism to gradually take control while they are emotionally and spiritually "fast asleep." A spectral cabaret master of ceremonies comments on the story in a series of increasingly pointed nightclub songs.
