Cabaret at the Guthrie Theater: A Dazzling Must-See Musical in Minneapolis

Looking for an unforgettable night of theater this summer in the Twin Cities? Don’t miss Cabaret at the Guthrie Theater, now playing through August 18. This bold, provocative, and beautifully staged musical transports audiences to 1930s Berlin—just before the world changed forever.

🎭 Why You Need to See Cabaret at the Guthrie

Set in the seedy Kit Kat Klub, Cabaret follows the stories of American writer Cliff Bradshaw and English cabaret performer Sally Bowles as their lives intertwine against a backdrop of rising political unrest in Germany. Known for its unforgettable score by Kander and Ebb and iconic numbers like “Willkommen,” “Maybe This Time,” and “Cabaret,” this production is both a celebration of freedom and a chilling reminder of how quickly it can be lost.

This Guthrie Theater production features a standout cast led by the magnetic Jo Lampert as the Emcee (📸 photo by Dan Norman). The show has received praise for its stunning direction, electric performances, and visually rich set design that pulls you into the smoky, seductive world of pre-WWII Berlin.
