'Chicago' On Stage at Connecticut Cabaret Theatre

Cabaret is a form of entertainment featuring comedy, song, dance, and theatre, distinguished by the performance venue – a restaurant or nightclub with a stage for performances and the audience sitting at tables (often dining or drinking) watching the performance being introduced by a master of ceremonies.

Winter has taken hold of Connecticut. An epidemic of cabin fever is forecast. Symptoms of this malady are intense feelings of boredom with television, and a ho-hum feeling about movies. People want to get out of the house and do something different. Visiting the Connecticut Cabaret Theatre is just what the doctor ordered.

Connecticut Cabaret Theatre offers table seating so patrons bring their own food and drink. One might want to have an early dinner out and finish the evening off getting desert at the Cabaret while seeing a show. The desert bar features cakes, biscotti, cookies, coffee, tea, flavored water, etc. Perhaps you decide to bring your own food and drink and enjoy dinner at the theatre before the show. The choice is yours to enjoy.

Since Jan. 7 and until Feb. 12, the musical “Chicago” will be playing, the first production of the 2011 season.

“This show is extremely popular,” said Owner, Producer, and Artistic Director Kris McMurray. “It hasn’t been around here except for when it played at the Bushnell a number of years ago. It’s still playing on Broadway.”
