2024/2025 Season Announcement
Kitchener-Waterloo Musical Productions proudly announces our 76th Season: A Beautiful Season
KWMP is excited to introduce our 2024/2025 season with two monumental musicals that serve as poignant bookends to a pivotal era in history. Join us as we journey through the compelling stories and music of Kander and Ebb’s Cabaret and The Sound of Music – IN CONCERT. Both of our season’s shows explore themes of love, loss, and the power of music against the backdrop of a world on the brink of change.
Cabaret
November 21–30, 2024 at The Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts
Coming to the Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts this November, Kander & Ebb’s Cabaret will immerse audiences in the tantalizingly vivacious world of the Kit Kat Klub. Set against the prelude to a transformative era in Germany, Cabaret‘s bold exploration of anti-Semitic themes and the seductive allure of escapism challenges us to see beyond the dazzle of the stage lights, offering a glimpse into the lives shadowed by the impending tide of history.
Cabaret won eight Tony® Awards in 1967, including Best Musical, and features such well-known songs as “Willkommen,” “Maybe This Time,” “If You Could See Her,” “Mein Herr” and the title song “Cabaret.”

With its inspiring tale of hope, family, and the resounding strength of the human spirit amidst the backdrop of a changing world, The Sound of Music explores the resilience of love and music in the face of encroaching darkness.
