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.

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!

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.

There is no rock and roll enthusiast who has not been touched in some way by the epic catalogue of the mighty Led Zeppelin. From the initial crushing chords of “Good Times, Bad Times” on Led Zeppelin I (1969) to the slick, piano heavy “Fool In The Rain” (1980) that featured one of John Bonham’s most iconic drum grooves. If you are looking for a Led Zeppelin act that brings the energy and spirit of Led Zeppelin in their prime, then look no further than FOUR STICKS, the most accurate tribute to the iconic Led Zeppelin.

Led Zeppelin, led by guitar virtuoso, Jimmy Page and vocal icon, Robert Plant, never failed to push their songwriting to the limit of astounding creativity, with live performances that were second to none, with each member putting on a clinic and delivering their songs with fresh energy at each and every performance. The songs maintained their album quality while simultaneously being given new life and energy by the live improvisation abilities or these four powerhouses. FOUR STICKS is comprised of NYC session and touring musicians who have graced the stages with some of the biggest names in the business, as well as being on numerous smash hits with musicians in multiple genres.

Bad Moon Rising
2026-08-29 19:30 - 21:30 | DE
Bad Moon Rising, a Classic Tributes Live band, invites you to take a trip down the Mississippi delta as they pay tribute to arguably the greatest rock band North America ever produced. Creedence Clearwater Revival. CCR was an American Roots rock band who’s sound incorporated southern, country and blues rock. The resulting sound and success (built on the distinctive vocals, wailing guitar and song writing style of John Fogerty) became known as swamp rock, and CCR was the pioneer of the genre. CCR was prolific during a 4-year period between 1969 and 1971. This period produced fourteen consecutive top 10 singles and five consecutive top 10 albums including two that reached number one.
Bad Moon Rising will take you from the band’s headlining of the 1969 Woodstock Festival to their acrimonious disbandment in 1972 and beyond. Let’s travel with the band up around the bend and run through the jungle into the bayou and home to Green River where we can look out the backdoor, down on the corner and see the rain. Hey tonight we’ll all be the fortunate ones and proud as Mary.

There is no other performer who looks and sounds so much like Elton John, nor any tribute act that provides the experience of being at an Elton John concert the way Gerald Brann and Yellow Brick Road do. Brann not only bears an uncanny resemblance to the international superstar — complete with gap-toothed smile and many of his mannerisms — but recreates Elton John’s vocals and playing to a tee.

To capture the essence of the piano man, Brann dresses in replica costumes and wears Elton’s trademark outrageous glasses. A trained jazz pianist, Brann has been a lifelong Elton John fan, and his admiration for and love of his music comes shining through as he plays one hit after another with remarkable likeness to the pop music icon. Brann and his talented five-piece band evoke audience participation throughout the entire show — whether singing along to “Rocket Man” and “Your Song,” swaying to “Candle in the Wind,” or hopping and bopping to “Crocodile Rock.”
