The Benjamin T. Rome School of Music at The Catholic University of America will present the 1998 Broadway revival version of the musical, Cabaret. The production will feature a full 11-piece band and will play Friday, Feb. 24, through Sunday, Feb. 26, in Ward Hall's Recital Hall.

Director Jay D. Brock, clinical assistant professor, describes the show as a "concept musical" where the meaning of the show surpasses the importance of the narrative. Whereas Cabaret has historically addressed the specific event of the Holocaust, this production will broaden the discussion of genocide to include current issues. Brock hopes that the audience will leave the production with a better awareness of persecution and human rights violations taking place in today's world.

Musical direction will be provided by Denise Puricelli, assistant professor and co-chair of musical theatre. Music school alumnus Kurt Boehm serves as choreographer.

Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 24 and 25 and at 2 p.m. on Feb. 25 and 26. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $10 for seniors, students, and CUA alumni, faculty, and staff.
