Pa Playhouse's "Cabaret" satisfying, unsettling
Pennsylvania Playhouse stages a satisfyingly gritty and unsettling production of “Cabaret” through June 16 at the playhouse at 390 Illick’s Mill Road, Bethlehem.
Billed as an immersive production, entertainers from the play’s Kit Kat Club greet audience members as they approach the theater and inside the lobby before the show. Performers also roam around inside the theater posing on the railing and dancing on the stage prior to the show’s start. The five-person band, led by music director Liam Mulligan (a welcome return of live musician to the playhouse) are on stage and entertaining before the show, adding to the immersive feel.
