I’ve been a fan of cabaret performances for as long as I can remember. Whenever I have an opportunity to catch one, I jump on it. The last live cabaret style performance I saw was several years back during a vacation in New Orleans, which solidified my slight obsession with cabaret. Needless to say, when I heard that CABARET this musical was coming to Miami I was over the moon. In continuation of my partnership with Broadway Across America & Broadway in Miami, I present to you the one of a kind spectacular CABARET! Now playing at the Adrienne Arsht Center through April 17, 2016.
You may recognize Randy Harrison (Emcee) as the star of TV’s “Queer as Folk”, his voice incredible, his performance magical – and most definitely the show stopper of the night. There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe his outstanding appeal and fit for his role. Andrea Goss who plays Sally Bowles is a real gem and firecracker.
Shannon Cochran as Fraulein Schneider and Mark Nelson as Herr Schultz will have you believing that you are never too old to find love – and happiness in a pineapple.
Cabaret may evoke some emotions for those with a personal connection to the Holocaust, as it did for me. Watching the love of Fraulein Schneider and Herr Schultz fall apart, the conviction in the voice of Lee Aaron Rosen (Clifford Bradshaw) as he tried unsuccessfully to be the voice of reason and speak the truth of what was to come to his new friends around him. Undoubtedly my immediate hate Ernst Ludwig, played by Ned Noyes, when his red arm band Swastika was revealed. I’ve revealed enough, and won’t spoil the ending – but come with tissues if you get emotional like myself.
Cabaret was a powerful production that now enters the list of my top favorites from Broadway. Some of which are – Kinky Boots, Rent, Wicked and The Book of Mormon. “We have no troubles here! Here life is beautiful… The girls are beautiful… Even the orchestra, is beautiful. – Willkommen”
About Cabaret
Welcome to the infamous Kit Kat Klub, where the Emcee, Sally Bowles and a raucous ensemble take the stage nightly to tantalize the crowd––and to leave their troubles outside. But as life in pre-WWII Germany grows more and more uncertain, will the decadent allure of Berlin nightlife be enough to get them through their dangerous times?
“Divinely, dangerously decadent!” – The New York Times
“A superb production of one of the great musicals of all time. Exhilarating!” – Time Out New York
Cabaret delivers a pack and a punch, have played almost 4,000 performances since it appeared for the first time on Broadway in 1966, then revived in 1998 and again in 2014. Cabaret has won numerous prestigious awards. If you haven’t seen Cabaret on stage, now is the time to do so. Come hear some of the most memorable songs in theater history, including “Cabaret,” “Willkommen” and “Maybe This Time.”
Perfect for a date night, whether you are seeing Cabaret for the first time or the fourth time, it will be memorable. Until midnight you can grab discounted tickets via my referral link to Living Social for only $59 for select performances.
Ticket prices start at $29. There are several shows left to choose from, including a few matinee options, with the last show on April 17, 2016.

I love broadway musicals, I grew up watching the movie versions and listening to the old record soundtracks my grandmother and my mother owned. Cabaret was one my mother played so often. I would definitely love to see this. It’s so awesome that so many great stage shows are playing in your area. If I was there I’d probably go see everything! LOL! 😉
I love the theater. Glad you enjoyed Cabaret. I will have to put the show on my bucket list.
I have always wanted to see this or a show like this, I just find it funny , sexy amusing and so much more , I love the singing, acting and everything

Ive never been to a Cabaret, however after reading this article, It definitely sounds intriguing. I would love to go and explore the night world of show biz 🙂
This show sounds devine, and I’m a big fan of QAF so it would be wonderful to see Randy performing again. Wish it was closer to home. Bummer!
The good thing is that it’s a touring show, so be sure to check out the website to see where they are headed next!
OH wow this looks so good! I totally didn’t expect a musical about a cabaret to be emotional. I would love to see this. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I love the Cabaret also but not in small town Ohio, We have occasional musicals at our Society for the arts. Now we can travel an hour to Toledo or Cleveland to see a show. But she we do it is worth it .
I would love to see this musical.
Looks like a wonderful performance. Love the music in this show.
I am a huge fanatic of Cabaret performances! I love to watch the raw emotions of actors and actresses. I love the dance routines. I’ve always loved going to Broadway plays and musicals as a child. Luckily, I live close to New York so I won’t miss out on the fun!
