THE STORY
The show opens on December 31st of 1929, New Years Eve, as the Master of Ceremonies at the Kit Kat Club welcomes the audience, introduces the cabaret performers, and insists that everyone leave their troubles outside. This sets the stage for the rest of the show, which is the story of three relationships.
Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, who is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles; Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff’s boarding house, who begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller; and the people of Germany to their country and the Nazi party.
With the Emcee’s songs as commentary, Cabaret explores the dark and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Weimar Germany slowly falls apart. Cabaret is an emotional examination of the rise of fascism and the banality of evil.

ROLES
Cabaret has a wide variety of roles that range from extremely intense singing/dancing to almost zero singing/dancing. Please see the following breakdown!
NOTE: GERMAN & ENGLISH ACCENTS will be used in the production as appropriate. HOWEVER we understand that not all actors will have the tools to perform in an accent successfully in the audition process, don’t panic. We just ask you to give it your best shot and have fun. We will be providing professional accent training material for those cast in the production.

Bell Bottom Blues
2026-02-21 19:30 - 21:30 | The B. Stimson Carrow Auditorium, The Smyrna Opera House, Smyrna, DE, 19977, United States
The Bell Bottom Blues was formed in 2007 with the vision of providing an audience with a true Eric Clapton Experience. Through its evolution, the band has been carefully constructed to create the essence of the Clapton sound, from his guitar arrangements to his distinctive vocal sound. This is what separates The Bell Bottom Blues from all others and makes us unique in the market. We have been told time and time again by our audiences and fans that “they close their eyes during a show and could swear that they were actually at a Clapton concert”. This is what we actually set out to achieve.
Through each band member’s dedication, professionalism, and hard work, we have captured the sound and essence of the master himself through his various stages, from Cream, the Dominoes, and through his entire solo career. Our EC has captured his guitar styling and, more importantly, his exact vocal sound, which allows us to truly pay tribute to this rock and blues icon.
Once again, our goal is to perform and allow our audiences to really feel like they are participating in an actual EC live event. There is no better satisfaction for us than seeing this actually occur and knowing we have achieved our goal.
Some notable venues we’ve had the pleasure to play are Iridium NYC, BB Kings NYC, City Winery, Havana’s PA, New Hope Winery PA, Mcloone’s Supper Club NJ, The Stone Pony, Daryl’s House, Infinity Theater Ct, Courthouse Center for Arts Ri, Count Basie Theater NJ, Tally Ho Theater VA, Downtown Cabaret Ct, Lamp Theater PA, Paramount Theater NY, Dean Center PA, The Amp Theater DC, Dean Center MA, Tin Pan VA, Grand Casino, Harahas Casino, Empire City Casino, Resorts Casino, Foxwoods Casino, Hard Rock Casino, and Outdoor Summer Concert Series along the east.

An Evening With Queen
2026-05-01 19:30 - 21:00 | The B. Stimson Carrow Auditorium, The Smyrna Opera House, Smyrna, DE, 19977, United States
Sit back and enjoy your favorite songs by John, Roger, Brian, and Freddie! Dance the night away to Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Radio Ga Ga! Then strap in to listen to favorites from arguably the greatest rock album ever, A Night at the Opera, including You’re My Best Friend and Bohemian Rhapsody. This is a show for Queen fans of all ages!

Justin Gonzalez (former lead singer of 33 1/3 LIVE’s Killer Queen Experience) knew from a very young age that the stage would be something extraordinary in his life. Growing up a poor kid from The City of Brotherly Love, he didn’t know that he had a seat at the table.
Today, Justin performs a diverse repertoire of music spanning Jazz, the American Songbook, the music of Freddie Mercury and Queen, Broadway, and favorites from the classical and operatic stage. Justin has performed with some of the best classical and popular music acts in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, the Legendary Birchmere, the Margravial Opera House in Bayreuth, Germany, and the Cathedral Notre Dame in Paris.
