Cabaret now at the Bloomington Theatre and Art Center
Cabaret is now playing at the Bloomington Theatre and Art Center. You can get tickets at the link below. 7:30 p.m. every Thu., Fri., Sat. until February 17 2:00 p.m. every Sun. until February 17 Bloomington Civic Theatre (https://www.centerstageticketing.com/sites/bloomington/) 1800 W. Old Shakopee Road Bloomington, MN 55431 Read the Star Tribune Review (https://www.startribune.com/entertainment/stageandarts/187786861.html) "There was a cabaret, and there was a master of ceremonies...” Life in 1920s Berlin, like many other parts of the world, was a time of excess and carefree living. Take your seat at the Kit Kat Klub, the perfectly marvelous cabaret. Cabaret depicts the interlocking stories of a cabaret singer (Sally Bowles), a writer from America (Cliff Bradshaw), and the citizens of Berlin, all caught up in the swirling maelstrom of a changing society. As the Nazi party begins its rise to power in the 1930s, each character’s life is deeply affected and each must decide how to respond to the political events happening around them. Sally and Cliff must each decide if they will abandon themselves to the pleasures of the cabaret, or open their eyes and face the coming storm. Based on Christopher Isherwood’s Goodbye to Berlin, Cabaret is hard-edged, with a starkly real storyline. The images of Berlin and the ways in which it bows to the rise of the Nazi Party are powerful and disturbing, providing lessons for generations of theater-goers.

Lucinda Williams coming to the Dakota
Americana singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams has the wonderfully evocative drawl and Flannery O'Connor Gothic inclinations of her Southern roots. But she's also got local ties up here, having married Minnesota native Tom Overby on stage at First Avenue in 2009, and in recent years settling into town for relatively extended residencies. This four-night stand at the Dakota begins less than a week after her 60th birthday, a couple of years after the release ofBlessed. She reportedly has written about 40 new songs for her next album for a still-to-be-decided label, having split from Lost Highway. She also recently recorded a new version of "Joy," a tune from 1998's Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, for West of Memphis: Voices of Justice, a compilation inspired by the documentary film about three teenagers erroneously convicted of murder. — By Rick Mason Price: $50-$60 Get all the details right here: 7:00 p.m. every Mon., Wed., Fri., Sat. from February 1 until February 6 @ Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant (https://www.dakotacooks.com) 1010 Nicollet Mall Minneapolis, MN 55403
