Tracing Cabaret’s path to the Broadway stage

Keith Garebian’s production history follows the chain of adaptations behind the original Broadway Cabaret, from Christopher Isherwood’s Berlin stories through John van Druten’s play and a British film version to Harold Prince’s musical staging. The book centers on how those source works were reshaped as Cabaret became an early example of the concept musical. Nearly 40 illustrations, cast credits, and a bibliography make it a compact reference as well as an account of the show’s development.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Musical-theatre enthusiasts interested in Cabaret’s Broadway origins
  • Theatre students and performers studying adaptation and production history
  • Readers seeking a documented reference on Broadway musicals
