CABARET AT THE GUTHRIE THEATER The time is WWII and inside Berlin’s seedy Kit Kat Klub; patrons are invited to partake in a decadent underworld of musical numbers, kick lines and torrid affairs – a welcome escape from the ever-growing Nazi influence just outside its doors.

This Tony Award-winning musical feast, featuring hits such as “Willkommen,” and “Cabaret,” is both daring and dazzling. NOTE: This trip does NOT include a meal; please eat lunch prior departure. Snacks and beverages will be available at the theater for purchase during the show. Trip Pace: Moderate. Min: 15; Max: 25.
