Cabaret Opens on Broadway

The revival of Cabaret opened at Studio 54 last week, with festival artistic director Patrick Vaccariello as music director. (Read The New York Times review HERE.) To give festival guests a taste of Broadway, Mr. Vaccariello is producing a concert celebrating the legendary songwriting team Kander and Ebb, the composers of Cabaret. John Kander has selected the songs for the production.

The festival production, Come to the Cabaret! A Celebration of Kander & Ebb, will take place Saturday, July 26, at 7:30pm at Pocono Mountain East High School. After the show, audience members will be invited to join Mr. Vaccariello for an enlightening discussion about the creative process behind the performance. To purchase tickets CLICK HERE
