It is the Berlin of the early 1930s that attracts the American writer Cliff Bradshaw as well as many artists of his generation. The city has a reputation for being a metropolis in which to become famous. Night clubs cast a spell over their visitors and provide diversion from everyday life, which is often full of privation. Cliff ends up at the legendary Kit Kat Klub, where swing singer Sally takes to the stage every night. She is the star of the club and seduces the guests with her voice and her charisma. Cliff is blown away too. When Sally is suddenly fired, she seeks refuge with him and the two become a couple. At first they seem to have had a happy time, but there are already signs of an epochal historical upheaval. The inspiring international charm of Berlin is fading and people who were once turned towards you soon salute in brown uniforms. The seizure of power by the Nazis makes Cliff doubt a life in Germany, while Sally holds on to her dream of becoming a star.

John Kander wrote music that was inspired by the jazz and ragtime of the 1930s and, like a number revue, has a conférencier lead through the action. The musical and its songs have been world-famous since the eight-Oscar-winning film adaptation with Liza Minnelli in the role of Sally Bowles.

At the DNT, one of the best-known directors in Germany will devote himself to this subject, which is unfortunately again valid: After the Reichstag re-enactment as part of the 2019 Art Festival, Nurkan Erpulat is working on his second production in Weimar with the drama and music theater ensemble and the Staatskapelle.
