In the late 1920s, as Weimar Germany careened towards fascism, the British writer Christopher Isherwood moved to Berlin. Living with a flapper who had Hollywood ambitions, he spent his evenings at the city’s jazz cabarets and was a loyal customer of the local male prostitutes. These escapades inspired Isherwood’s 1939 novel, Goodbye to Berlin, which inspired John Van Druten’s 1951 play, I am a Camera, which inspired the John Kander–Fred Ebb–Joe Masteroff 1966 musical, Cabaret. The musical follows the love life of Sally Bowles, a Jazz-age singer at a seedy cabaret called the Kit Kat Klub, and its debut production on Broadway earned two Tony Awards. Last spring, the latest in a long string of revivals opened on Broadway the West End and starred Eddie Redmayne as the club’s emcee. Now, Redmayne no longer stars, and starting March 31, Eva Noblezada takes over as the Emcee and Sally. —Jensen Davis
