When Arizona Theatre Company stages what has been called a “masterpiece of musical theatre”

in Phoenix and Tucson, it may bring back memories of Joel Grey and Liza Minnelli in the blockbuster movie, but the audience will be part of a new experience.

“Cabaret is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicals ever — and only Arizona Theatre Company, with a full live orchestra on stage — is able to bring the best in our country to work with the best here to create such a piece,” said Arizona Theatre Company Artistic Director Sean Daniels.

The story hasn’t changed, and the message is as relevant — perhaps even more so — today than when the show opened on Broadway in 1966 and ran for 1,165 performances.

Directed by Sara Bruner, Cabaret follows American author Cliff Bradshaw (Brandon Espinoza) and his encounter with cabaret performer Sally Bowles (Madison Micucci) and the seedy world of the Kit Kat Klub, presided over by the enigmatic Emcee (Sean Patrick Doyle).

When she is fired by the club’s owner, Max (David Kelly), also her jealous boyfriend, she moves in with Cliff and the two fall in love. As

the Nazis begin taking control of the German government, the atmosphere at the Kit Kat Klub and the lives of Cliff and Sally begin to change.

For all the exuberant song and dance, the most powerful aspect of Cabaret remains the political wallop it delivers. At its core, Cabaret is a devastating critique of apathy and a clever and terrifying look at totalitarianism.

“A piece that asks us all what is the cost of staying silent when fascism is on the rise seems like a good question to be asking these days,” Daniels said. “In terms of artists: Sara Bruner is one of the hottest directors in the country, just coming off a smash hit at Oregon Shakespeare Festival. And Jaclyn Miller’s choreography wowed audiences last year during The Music Man. With a diverse cast packed full of Broadway credits, it promises to be a Cabaret and a night unlike any other.”

Packed with memorable songs from “Willkommen,” “Maybe This Time,” “Money,” and, of course, “Cabaret,” this is a story that remains remarkably timely, particularly in today’s political environment.

ATC’s production of Cabaret will be followed by “Master Harold”... and the Boys, The Legend of Georgia McBride and Women in Jeopardy!

Cabaret will be on stage at the Temple of Music & Art, 330 S. Scott Ave. in Tucson, from November 30 — December 29 and at the Herberger Theater Center, 222 E. Monroe in Phoenix, from January 4 — 26.

The Banker

In the 1950s, the idea of an African American man owning his own business was unheard of. The Banker tells the story of two African Americans who knew they didn’t stand a chance in real estate, so they conspired together and hire a working-class white man to pretend to be the head of their bank, while they posed as servicemen to him. Samuel L. Jackson teams with Anthony Mackie as chauffer and janitor to Nicholas Hoult as The Banker in this story inspired by true events.
