Come to the Cabaret for the smash-hit musical that spawned an Academy Award-winning movie and two Broadway revivals! Set in 1931 Berlin as the Nazis are rising to power, this sizzling sensation focuses on nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub and revolves around the 19-year-old English cabaret performer Sally Bowles and her relationship with young American writer Cliff Bradshaw under the watchful eyes of the all-knowing, all-seeing Master of Ceremonies. With music by Kander and Ebb, Cabaret features the songs "Willkommen," "Maybe This Time," "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" and the famous title song "Cabaret."

Isabel is a modern young woman who lives alone and works in a book shop. When she is not pining after a handsome author, she is visiting her grandmother in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

Legally Blonde (The Musical) - Broadway in Birmingham - performed at the BJCC Concert Hall

Friday September 24 at 8:00 PM, Saturday September 25 at 2 and 8 PM, Sunday September 26 at 1PM and 6:30PM

Sorority star Elle Woods doesn't take "no" for an answer. So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone more “serious,” Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.

In its first year on Broadway, LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL earned seven 2007 Tony Award nominations, ten 2007 Drama Desk Award Nominations, a 2007 Outer Critics Circle Award and the chorus of the musical was honored by Actors’ Equity Association’s Advisory Committee on Chorus Affairs (ACCA) with the first ever ACCA Award. The musical also ranked in the top ten list of the most requested Ticketmaster “Arts & Theatre Events” for 2007.
In an unprecedented partnership, on October 13, 2007, MTV premiered LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL in its entirety and reached over 12.5 million viewers, and ranked #1 in its time period among P12-34 across all of television. The special included a behind-the-scenes look at the musical and a Pink Carpet extravaganza hosted by the cast of “The Hills” live from the Palace Theatre in NYC.

Following the success of "Legally Blonde The Musical", MTV will once again join forces with the LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL team this time to search for a talented singer/actress/dancer to take over for the Tony Nominated Broadway star currently playing Elle Woods, Laura Bell Bundy, with "Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods."
The Original Broadway Cast Recording for “Legally Blonde The Musical,” was released on Ghostlight Records, an imprint of Sh-K-Boom Records, and captured the #1 slot on the Billboard Cast Album chart and charted at #86 on the Billboard Top 200. The album has continued its success, charting every week as one of the top-selling Broadway cast recordings and soared to the Top 10 albums (of any genre) on iTunes once the show premiered on MTV.

Tickets are $20-$60.
