Newton residents to star in Broadway classic "CABARET"

Moonstruck Theater Company is pleased to present the Tony award winning CABARET, opening Friday, July 19, and running for four performances through July 21. Performances take place at West Boylston Junior-Senior High School, 125 Crescent St., West Boylston, MA.

Take your seat at the Kit Kat Klub, the perfectly marvelous cabaret, where singer Sally Bowles meets writer Cliff Bradshaw. As the two pursue a life of pleasure in Weimar Berlin, the world outside the Klub begins to splinter. Sally and Cliff are faced with a choice: abandon themselves to the pleasures promised by the cabaret, or open their eyes and face the coming storm. Immortalized on film by Liza Minelli and Joel Grey, with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by Joe Masteroff, CABARET is a theatrical experience like few others. 

The production features 18 performers from the Boston and MetroWest regions, including Kate Davis and Isaac Parsons, both of Newton Centre, as Rosie and Bobby, two dancers in the notorious Kit Kat Klub.

“I love this show and I've acted in it before,” says Kate, “By being in it again it lets me try out other roles, become another character, and get a whole new experience out of the performance.” Kate has been performing for 10 years, and starred in Lasell College’s production of “Spring Awakening” as Wendla, opposite Isaac as Melchior. “I've loved how close the cast has become,” Isaac says “that makes them easier to connect with when performing.”

Kate and Isaac are both students at Lasell College.

The show is directed by Matthew Sherman, music directed by Samantha Prindiville, and choreographed by Caroline Fonseca. The production will be presented at West Boylston Senior-Junior High School.

Tickets are $17 general admission and $12 for senior citizens and students. For tickets, reservations, and more information, visit www.moonstrucktheater.org or call 508-251-9224
