Willkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome! This week we are going to the grimy world of the Kit Kat Klub and discussing the Kander and Ebb masterpiece Cabaret! Joined by the hysterical and talented Emily Ramirez! We talk stand up, dance calls, and classical ballet. We learn the difference between a book musical and a concept musical, and compare musicals to Shakespeare again. Later we discuss the Emcee: real or fake??, feminist comedy and mansplaining, and Kat reveals what might be her hottest take ever. We also mention minor spoilers for The Ferrymen by Jez Butterworth.

**Content Warning: Brief discussion about Sexual Assault.**
