 What's great about Cabaret is it has almost two different plot lines, and then they intersect. There's the cabaret itself with the MC and all the dancers, and you have all their interpersonal rivalries and connections and reconnections. And then you have the world outside the cabaret. In the country of Germany as a whole, during the post-Pleymar Republic and coming into the 30s, you know, we don't exist in a vacuum. So obviously it is on the larger stage of what is happening in the larger community. There's a nice saying out there, every great show is always just in time, especially this show that is reflected in the timelessness and the transience of the material that we find in Cabaret. I think that what really resonates with me is the way that the cabaret itself, the things that go on in the cabaret, the musical things, reflect what's going on in the outside world of Weimar Germany, which is coming to its end, and the rise of Nazism is coming to before. And I think that the numbers in the cabaret get more intense as the play goes on, as we get further into the history and the further into the rise of the very nationalistic movement that's represented by the Nazi party at the time. Just going through each piece and not only rehearsing it but talking about the name behind each movement and having everything make sense, not only choreographically but in the story line, has been really refreshing. I think that's super important when you're doing a show that has so much of a political influence and has so much history behind it, so that for me is for the most exciting. There's a lot of spectacle in this show and it kind of ties together a few different things and having that musical theater fun as well as putting a politically charged message in there and that has the flash and the flare but also kind of shows what the rise in the Nazi party and everything that was happening in Berlin at the time. I think in 2019 it's relevant in the United States we're seeing a lot of similar themes. The show like Cabaret, you're seeing something that makes you think and each person in the audience is leaving that show, hopefully if we've all done our job, they're leaving that show and they're thinking about what they just saw and processing it even if they don't really realize it at times, there's little parts of a show that definitely stick with you.
