Musical Milestone

On November 22, 1966, the musical Cabaret opened on Broadway. Based on Christopher Isherwood's novel Goodbye to Berlin, the show depicted the interlocking stories of a cabaret singer, a writer from America, and the denizens of Berlin, all caught up in the swirling maelstrom of pre-World War II Europe. The original Cabaret ran for 1,165 performances and picked up ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Read more about Cabaret at the PBS Web site for the series Broadway The American Musical, where Cabaret is listed as a "Memorable Musical." The Web site is a trove of information about the history and form of American musicals. You can even vote for your favorite musical.
