The Ghetto Cabaret

Written By Will Mahon

Nominated for five Green Room Awards winning Best Music Direction

Any night could be their last performance. Danger, disease and betrayal surround the Jewish musicians, singers, dancers, acrobats, opera and theatre performers thrown together and trapped in the Ghettos of WWII. But their fear is transformed into art as they try to create meaning out of the terror and chaos around them.

Full of Yiddish songs unheard for decades, The Ghetto Cabaret is provocative and challenging, revealing the black humour, courage and wit of a people struggling to survive.

The Ghetto Cabaret tells a daring story created by third generation survivors rewriting the narrative of the Holocaust as a story for everyone.

★★★★ “One of the most ambitious and stirring, blackly funny and profoundly sad works of cabaret I’ve seen.”
