The musical set in Berlin is 'CABARET'. CABARET is a musical with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Joe Masteroff, based on John Van Druten's 1951 play I Am a Camera. It focuses on the nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub in Berlin and revolves around the young English CABARET performer Sally Bowles and her relationship with the young American writer Cliff Bradshaw. The 1966 Broadway production became a hit, inspiring numerous subsequent productions in London and New York, as well as the 1972 film of the same name.
