Performance NotesThe 1966 musical Cabaret is set against the backdrop of decadent nightlife in 1930s Germany. With the economic situationdire and Nazism on the rise, the German people were eager to forget, even for a short while, about the hard times they hadendured since World War I.

The song Cabaret was introduced by Jill Haworth in London and popularized on Broadway and in the 1972 film by LizaMinnelli, daughter of Judy Garland. The upbeat feel ofthe piece stands in stark contrast to the peril ofthe times.

The songwriting team ofFred Ebb and John Kander has given us many great songs, including My Coloring Book, Theme fromNew York,New York and And All That Jazz, from the musical Chicago.

Cabaret makes a great show opener, of course. Your quartet or chorus will have a ball singing the song with gusto, and your.r""\ audiences will enjoy being reminded to live life to the fullest.

As a final note: Questions about the suitability of this or any other song/arrangement should be directed to the judgingcommunity and measured against current contest rules. Ask before you sing.
