Cabaret

Join us at Dupont Underground for this electrifying production of Cabaret, the iconic Tony Award–winning Broadway musical by Joe Masteroff, with music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb. 

Beneath the historic streets of Dupont Circle, where Dupont Underground transforms 15,000 square feet of forgotten passageways into a one-of-a-kind immersive arts venue, the world of Cabaret comes vividly to life—a subterranean escape beneath a city dancing on the edge of turmoil. 

Set inside the infamous Kit Kat Club, Cabaret follows young American writer Cliff Bradshaw and English cabaret performer Sally Bowles as they navigate love, ambition, and political unrest in 1930s Berlin. As the club’s irreverent Master of Ceremonies invites audiences into a world of glitter and illusion, the rise of the Nazi party and violent fascism looms over them.
