Fall 2025- Cabaret: 1998 Version
Overview
Bienvenu, welcome to New Works’ Fall 2025 musical! We are inviting artists ages 14 and up to join us in retelling this timeless and important musical Cabaret: 1998 version. In a Berlin hotspot- The Kit Kat Klub- the 1920s draw to a close, a Master of Ceremonies welcomes us in with one promise “forget all your troubles- here life is beautiful!”
Show Summary
This musical masterfully flips between revelry and reality as we follow two love stories: Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin and an English singer Sally Bowles and Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house who tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. With the Emcee’s gaudy and seemly carefree cabaret numbers as wry commentary to the human relationships they consistently mirror, Cabaret explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin’s locals and visitors as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich- and what it means to be a human being trying to survive war, love, and prejudice at any age.
Content Warnings
This musical has heavy political themes. Content warnings for this show are as follows: antisemitic language and themes, mild domestic violence, mild adult language, some adult themes, and alcohol and smoking mentioned/depicted.

Our Continued Commitment to Diversity
We here at New Works San Antonio have always been and always will be a LGBTQ+ safe space- there are queer characters in this script. We do not consider it a content or trigger warning, but we provide this disclaimer for our student’s and faculties safety. As a queer and diverse space, we celebrate, acknowledge, and champion that this text was written by queer individuals with a Jewish and queer historical lens.
A Live Student Band?!
