This revolutionary reinvention of the hit musical Cabaret rocked Broadway in 1998 and ran for nearly six years! Cabaret, co-directed by Sam Mendes and Rob Marshall, brings the seedy glamour of the legendary Kit Kat Klub to New York. Presented in a true cabaret-like atmosphere, it opened March 19, 1998 to rave reviews at the newly renovated and named Kit Kat Klub (formerly Henry Miller Theater) on 43rd street. In November of 1998, Cabaret moved to the legendary Studio 54 on 54th Street.
Jennifer Jason Leigh, Brooke Shields, Neil Patrick Harris, Molly Ringwald, Jon Secada, Melina Kanakaredes, Raul Esparza, Mary McCormack, Michael Hall, Susan Egan, Adam Pascal, Joely Fisher, Vance Avery, Lea Thompson, Matt McGrath, Katie Finneran, Gina Gershon, Deborah Gibson, Kate Shindle, Jane Leeves and John Stamos all later performed the roles that won both Alan Cumming and Natasha Richardson a Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award.
Cabaret closed on January 4, 2004 after nearly 2,400 performances, making it the second longest musical revival in Broadway history.

A VIEW FROM
THE BRIDGE
by ARTHUR MILLER

A play of power and substance from one of the giants of 20th century theatre. Anthony LaPaglia ("Murder One," The Rose Tattoo) stars in this gripping story about a man driven to acts of brutality and despair and destruction by passions he cannot understand. Set in Brooklyn's Red Hook longshoreman's community, Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge is splendid, stunning theatre -- a genuine modern classic.

by Georges Feydeau
co-adapted by Jean-Marie Besset and Mark O'Donnell
directed by Bill Irwin
Feydeau's classic farce transports the audiences swiftly from a Paris drawing room to the Hotel Pussycat at Montretout, the scene for a cocktail of chaos that could only be constructed by a master of stagecraft. While trying to set a trap for her husband, Madame Chandebise discovers her own lover in the hotel, as well as the spitting image of her husband, dressed as the porter. Confusion reigns as Feydeau's characters run through a helter-skelter plot of escalating hilarity.
