It was opening night for the local production of Cabaret at the Capitol Theatre on Thursday. The show features Sydney Galbraith (above) in the main role of Sally Bowles and the show takes audience members on a trip back in time to the Kit Kat Club in Berlin. With an amazing cast of local singers and dancers, an impressive set and fabulous music, it’s not to be missed. There are four more shows to take in either tonight or Saturday.
