The MetropolisCabaret shows Berlin on the brink.By PENN BULLOCKPublished on September 25, 2008 at 3:01amTwenties Berlin was notorious for its neon signs and automobile traffic, modern department stores and movie palaces, jazz bars and flophouses, theaters and thousand-seat cafés, artists and paramilitaries, rent boys and cross-dressers and above all, cabaret. Cabaret, based on a play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood, is a 1966 Broadway musical set in this decadent metropolis. In 1972, it spawned a feature film of the same name, starring Joel Grey and (the then-hot) Liza Minnelli. You probably know it by the famous ditty "Mein Herr."
