CONTRIBUTED STORY
Portland Opera Presents Fred Meyer Best o f Broadway is pleased to
announce that the award-winning Broadway touring production oiCabaret,
starring Miss America 1998 Kate Shindle as Sally Bowles and Jon
Peterson as The Emcee, will begin a limited premiere engagement in
Portland at Keller Auditorium on August 15, 2000.
Based on the true-life observations o f Christopher Isherwood, who wrote
“The Berlin Stories” about his experiences in Berlin between 1929 and
1932, Cabaret tells the story o f an Englishwoman’s romance with an
American writer set against the background ofa crumbling Germany at the
start o f the Third Reich. With music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred
Ebb, and book by Joe Masteroff, Cabaret features some o f the best-known
songs in musical theatre, including “Willkommen,” “Tommorrow Belongs
to Me,” “M oney," and “Cabaret.”
Shindle is joining the company o f Cabaret directly from Broadway’s
Jekyll & Hyde where she understudied the role o f Lucy. She received her
bachelor’s degree in theater from Northwestern University in June, 1999
after completing what could be called her first national tour, traveling
20,000 miles a month as an AIDS activist during her reign as Miss America
1998. Theater credits include Into the Woods (Witch), City o f Angels
(Bobby/Gabby), Joseph and the Am azing Technicolor Dreamcoat
(Narrator), Anything Goes (Reno) and Children o f Eden (Yonah).
Jon Peterson is a veteran o f the British West End. Highlights ofhis musical
and review credits include The Sound o f Music with Petula Clark, Lucky
in Dames at Sea with Kim Criswell, Mr. Mistoffolees in Cats, Paul in A
Chorus Line and Skimbleshanks in Cats. Peterson also appeared in many
pop videos in the 1980s including Duran D uran’s “W ild.”
Cabaret is one o f the most popular musicals in the history o f American
theater. This provocative new production, directed by Sam Mendes
(Academy A ward winner for his directorial debut with “American Beauty,
starring Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening) and co-directed/choreographed
by Rob Marshall (ABC T V ’s recent “Annie”), became the theatrical
sensation o f 1998 when it opened in New York C ity. It won 30 major award
nominations and four Tony Awards, including Best Revival o f a Musical.
The Broadway production continues to play to sold-out houses at the
legendary Studio 54. The design team for Cabaret includes Robert Brill
(sets), William Ivey Long (costumes), Peggy Eisenhauer and Mike
Baldassari (lighting) and Brian Ronan (sound).
