October 22, 2009 In the early 1930s, Christopher Isherwood penned the semi-autobiographical novel, Goodbye Berlin. In 1951, John Van Druten adapted Isherwood's work into the play, I Am Camera, which later inspired Cabaret—the musical that hit Broadway in 1966, followed by the silver screen in 1972 (yep, the very one that earned Liza Minelli an Oscar for Best Actress and Best Director for Bob Fosse). Set during the Nazi's rise to power in 1931, the Weimar Republic's Kit Kat Klub provides seedy backdrop for the two relationships examined. The primary romance lies between cabaret girl Sally Bowles (Minelli's role, played locally by Lynnea Barry), and her American lover, Cliff Bradshaw (a writer, recently-arrived in Germany, in search of inspiration), while the secondary relationship looks at the inevitably-doomed courting of boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider by Herr Shultz, an elderly Jewish fruit vendor. Directed by Jonathan Lehman, our Maui rendition (opening this Friday and running through November 15) promises more decadent debauchery than theatergoers familiar with the piece might be used to. As such, this already adult-themed production definitely remains for the 18 and over crowd only. 875-4367, www.proartspacific.com
