How Broadway’s ‘Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club’ Pulls Off Its Audacious, Sensual 75-Minute Prologue
Why the new Broadway revival of 'Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club' with Eddie Redmayne is inviting audience members to experience a 75-minute prologue.
“No extraneous commotion,” Jordan Fein, the associate director of “ Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club,” beseeches the small army of construction crew members who are drilling, hammering and carrying planks of wood around him, not to mention the half-dozen musicians and dancers waiting to rehearse. Audience members enter “Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club” through an alleyway, walking past trash cans overflowing with garbage and debris (“That’s not a prop,” Tom Scutt, the show’s designer, notes). Before seeing the show’s stars, Eddie Redmayne and Gayle Rankin, perform such Kander & Ebb classics as “Maybe This Time” and “Willkommen,” those who check out the prologue will experience original music composed by Angus MacRae.
