8th November 1983 to 12th November 1983

The Show | Dramatis personę | The Production Team | The Orchestra

The story is set in pre-war Berlin and the action alternates between the glitter and make-believe world of the Kit Kat Club in Berlin and the harsh reality of the rise of Nazism in Germany, between 1929 and 1930.

Through the eyes of the bizarre character of the EMCee, we observe the experiences of the people involved.  The blend between reality and the fantasy world of the club allows for a wide range of well-known music and exciting dancing.
