Come to the Cabaret

Judy Russell Presents Cabaret until Saturday at 8 p.m. each evening at the Prince George Playhouse, 2626 RecPlace Dr.

Russell is thrilled to be bringing back Kander and Ebb’s Tony award-winning musical Cabaret. Featured cast members in the production include Owen Selkirk as the Emcee, who is a former dancer with Ballet Kelowna and was last seen on the Prince George stage in The Producers in 2012 as Leo Bloom. Shelby Meaney is Sally Bowles, previously seen as Maria in The Sound of Music, and Catherine McCarthy as Fraulein Schneider. Also appearing in the show is Franco Celli as Cliff, Gary Chappel as Herr Schultz, Adam Harasimiuk as Ernst and Sandra Clermont as Frau Kost. Cabaret also fea- tures a local dancing chorus and production crew, musical director Curtis Abriel, band leader Greg Prosser, and director/ choreographer Judy Russell.

Cabaret takes audiences deep into the seedy nightlife of the Kit Kat Klub in Weimar, Germany on the eve of Hitler’s rise to power. Led by the enigmatic and dazzling Emcee, Cabaret is an intoxicating theatrical experience, featuring wellknown classics of the musical stage such asDon’t Tell Mama, Maybe This Time, and of course Cabaret.

Cabaret is a beloved and compelling piece of theatre and winner of eight Tony awards. Its characters are not only complex and dark, but funny and delightful.
