Glistening nights, sharp shadows: CABARET at the Capitol Mannheim

On September 27, 2026, the curtain rises at the Capitol Mannheim for CABARET – Welcome, Bienvenue, Welcome! The musical takes you into the dazzling yet threateningly dark world of Berlin's nightlife in the 1930s. Amidst raucous music, social tensions, and bittersweet entertainment, a stage experience full of passion and contrasts emerges.

A Cabaret Club between intoxication and reality

When the lights of the legendary Cabaret Club shine, a night begins in which every performance also carries political and human weight. The production by Jens Daryousch Ravari combines the glamorous surface of the musical with the grim atmosphere that gives the work its lasting impact. Hunger for life, seduction, and societal upheaval meet in a dramaturgy that captivates the audience from the very first beat.

Music, movement, and opulent stage designs

The choreography by Doris Marlis lends a dancerly swing to the ensemble scenes, while the musical direction by Marcos Padotzke shapes the characteristic sound of the musical. Set and lighting design by Paul Hermann make the Cabaret Club shine in changing light moods: sparkling, intimate, exuberant, and always with a shadow at the edge of the picture. Spectacular costumes by Sybille Gänßlen-Zeit emphasize the splendid decadence of the production.

A musical with a significant theatrical history

CABARET is based on the book by Joe Masteroff after John van Druten's play I Am a Camera and the stories of Christopher Isherwood. The lyrics are by Fred Ebb, and the music by John Kander. In German, based on the translation by Robert Gilbert and in the reduced orchestral version by Chris Walker, musical earworms meet precise character drawing and socially critical sharpness.

Strong characters at the center of the plot

Jennifer Siemann takes on the role of Sally Bowles, Andrea Pagani embodies the MC. Susan Horn plays Miss Schneider, Sascha Stead portrays Clifford Bradshaw. With Tina Podstawa as Miss Franzi Kost, Tilman Madaus as Mr. Schultz, Tim Stolberg as Ernst Ludwig, and Felicitas Hadzik as Rosie, a versatile ensemble stands on stage. The acting blends comedic lightness with the emotional fault lines of an era in transition.

Conclusion: Theater as a rousing warning signal

This stage experience promises much more than a glamorous musical evening. CABARET – Welcome, Bienvenue, Welcome! leads the audience through a theater atmosphere where music and movement celebrate, while the story becomes inexorably darker. If you want to experience great musical moments, poignant acting, and a visually striking production, you will find an evening full of energy, elegance, and resonance at the Capitol Mannheim.
