JOE MASTEROFF (Book) Born in 1919 in Philadelphia, Masteroff had only one dream from infancy: to write for the theatre. After the essential lonely childhood and four-year stint in the Air Force, he came to New York to face his future: book writer or book seller? Luckily, luck intervened. Before long he had three shows on Broadway bearing his name: The Warm Peninsula starring Julie Harris, and two musicals, She Loves Me and Cabaret, for which he was the book writer. His other work included the libretto for 70, Girls, 70 and Desire Under The Elms and book and lyrics for Six Wives and Paramour. Thanks to indulgent parents, the New Dramatists, Hal Prince and many others, Joe Masteroff retired and lived in subdued luxury until his death in 2018.

JOHN KANDER (Music) is a Tony, Emmy and Grammy-winning composer, a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors Award, and a member of the American Theatre Hall of Fame.

ring Goldie Hawn and Liza Minnelli); Ol’ Blue Eyes is Back (starring Frank Sinatra); Baryshnikov on Broadway; An Early Frost; and Liza in London. His last projects included a musical version of The Skin of Our Teeth and Curtains, with book by Rupert Holmes. Ebb also provided additional material for the updated script of Rodgers & Hart’s By Jupiter and additional lyrics for the 1997 TV remake of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella.

Fred Ebb earned four Tony Awards (for Cabaret, Woman of the Year, and Kiss of the Spider Woman) and four Primetime Emmy awards (for Liza with a Z, Gypsy in My Soul, and Liza Minnelli Live From Radio City Music Hall) along with dozens of other accolades, including the Kennedy Center Honors and membership in the American Theatre Hall of Fame. In 2005, by instruction of Ebb’s will, the Fred Ebb Foundation was established to present an annual award to an up-and-coming musical theatre writer or writing team.

BOB FOSSE became, in 1973, the first director in history to win the Oscar, the Antoinette Perry (Tony Award), and Emmy awards in a single year for his spectacular triumphs in the film version of Cabaret, the Broadway musical Pippin and the NBC television special “Liza with a Z.” Fosse’s first of eight Tony Awards was for his choreography in Pajama Game (1954, which features his unforgettable number “Steam Heat”). Mr. Fosse’s fame as a choreographer continued to grow with his achievements in Damn Yankees (1955, Tony Award), where he meets his life-long partner & collaborator Gwen Verdon. Fosse goes on to choreograph Bells Are Ringing (1956, Tony nomination) and New Girl In Town (1958, Tony nomination). He directs and choreographs Redhead (1959, Tony Award), starring Gwen Verdon; stages the musical numbers for the Pulitzer Prize-winning How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1961); and co-directs and stages the musical numbers for Little Me (1962, Tony Award). During rehearsals for Little Me, Mr. Fosse withheld his services in support of the SSD&C (now known as the SDC: Stage Directors and Choreographers Society) until Broadway producers agreed to recognize SDC as his collective bargaining agent. Additionally, he conceives, directs and choreographs Sweet Charity (1966, Tony Award) starring Gwen Verdon in her signature role: Charity Hope Valentine; Chicago (1975, Tony nomination) starring Gwen Verdon; and Dancin’ (1978, Tony Award). Fosse also conceived, directed and choreographed the film version of the Broadway musical Sweet Charity (1969), starring Shirley MacLaine. He choreographed and appeared in the motion picture version of My Sister Eileen (1955); for the screen he also choreographed The Pajama Game (1957) and Damn Yankees (1958), in which he danced with Miss Verdon. In addition, Fosse’s “Manson Trio” from the Tony-Award winning hit Pippin (1973) was the first television commercial for a Broadway show, which he also directed. Bob Fosse

WHO’S WHO was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Director for Lenny (1974) and All That Jazz (1979, Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or), and directed Star 80 (1983) for the screen as well. Mr. Fosse’s writing credits include the book for Chicago with Fred Ebb (1975, Tony nomination), the screenplay for All That Jazz with Robert Alan Arthur (1979, Academy Award nomination) and the screenplay for Star 80 (1983). Mr. Fosse directed and choreographed the revival of Sweet Charity starring Debbie Allen, which joined Big Deal (1986, Tony Award) on Broadway in April 1986.

Born in Chicago, Fosse begins dancing at nine, and makes his first professional appearance at thirteen with his childhood friend Charles Grass under the name “The Riff Brothers” (1940). The United States Navy then claims his talents and he serves in the Pacific Islands. Following Fosse’s discharge he tours in Call Me Mister (1947) with Mary Ann Niles.

As a team they were the hit dancers who sparked Make Mine Manhattan (1948) and Dance Me a Song (1950). After appearing in the MGM films Give a Girl a Break (1953), The Affairs of Dobie Gillis (1953) and Kiss Me, Kate (1953), Mr. Fosse departed Hollywood for the musical stage. His last performing engagements were with the New York City Center, dancing the title role in their revival of Pal Joey (1963), as well as on the screen dancing the role of The Serpent in Stanley Donen’s musical fantasy, The Little Prince (1974). On Opening Night of the National Tour of Sweet Charity in Washington, D.C. (September 23, 1987), Bob Fosse passed away. Fosse’s imprint exists long after his death such as in the revival of Chicago (1996), FOSSE (1999), the Emmy Award-winning FX series Fosse/ Verdon (2019), and the trio of dances “Sweet Gwen Suite” (2021). Mr. Fosse’s work continues today with the creation of The Verdon Fosse Legacy, founded by his daughter, Nicole Providence Fosse.

The Legacy’s mission is to promote, preserve, and protect the artistic and intellectual property of Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon, whose indelible influences can be seen across pop culture today.

PROGRAM NOTES by Michael Fling | Goodspeed’s Artistic Associate When it first premiered on Broadway in 1966, Cabaret shepherded in a new era of American Musical Theatre. Historians cite it as one of the first “concept musicals”—meaning that it was more about its theme and central idea than it was about the narrative arc of its characters. Its status as high concept only grew when the incredibly popular and beloved film adaptation did away with most of the actual story—winning 8 Academy Awards along the way and cementing Bob Fosse’s status as a leading creative force in musical theatre.

But the origins of Cabaret lie in the real life and stories of Christopher Isherwood, the British-American author who moved to Berlin in the early 1930s as Hitler rose to power.

Isherwood drew on his and his friends' experiences during this period to write The Berlin Stories. He recounted the decadent nightlife culture of Berlin against the increasing hostility toward Jews and the willful ignorance of a majority of Germans toward Nazi brutality. It’s within these stories that Isherwood created cabaret singer Sally Bowles, modeled after his friend Jean Ross, whom he shared a flat with for a brief period of time. It is worth mentioning that Ross was much more politically engaged and active than her literary counterpart.

Isherwood’s book inspired playwright John van Druten to adapt it into the play I Am A Camera, the title taken as a direct quote from the evocative words that begin Isherwood’s novel… “I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking.” The play was quite successful in its initial run, playing over 200 performances on Broadway and garnering a film adaptation. Both starred stage icon Julie Harris, in her first Tony Award-winning performance.

The novel's ultimate adaptation is John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Joe Masteroff’s unquestionable masterpiece. And the real hero of the musical’s creation was Harold Prince who played the dual role of Director and Producer. Though the writers began to craft the show as a traditional book musical, Prince felt the show’s theme spoke effectively to the growing tensions of 1960s America in regard to the civil rights movement.

Liza Minelli in the Cabaret film

on the conceit of using the musical numbers performed by the Master of Ceremonies (Emcee) as a comment on the action of the plot—rather than directly advancing the story or characters.

The brilliance in this concept is that, to the audience, it seems harmless and is incredibly entertaining. And it perfectly embodies the spirit of the hedonistic culture in which Sally and Cliff are immersed. While the Emcee and Kit Kat Klub performers (notice a particular repeating letter?) dance, evil begins to penetrate the world around them…without us noticing.

In our production, the creative team and designers have taken this notion and fully incorporated it into their vision. As the show progresses, the physical world on the stage begins to deteriorate in front of our eyes.

The costumes become grungier, the hair and makeup a little rougher—while the set and lights work together to expose a new way to look at the world we’ve inhabited. And even when it may not be obvious, they’ve used the design to convey this shift in the story.

Cabaret remains a resonant piece of musical theatre because it pleads for us to be aware of the world around us and the inhumanities that occur every day—or as Prince said “any place that there are people.”

As you enter the world of Cabaret, I'd encourage you to ask yourself…what would you do?
