Melinda’s show takes a then-and-now journey through Weimar Cabaret, bringing alive songs by famous Jewish composers; Kurt Weil, Mischa Spolianksy and Friedrich Hollaender. A wealth of diverse songs were written during the late 20's and into 1930's depression amidst a cultural, intellectual surge of creativity and Germany on the brink of war. Music is interspersed with excerpts from the 1938 “Entartete Musik” (forbidden music) pamphlet and Christopher Isherwood’s “Goodbye to Berlin” the inspiration for the film Cabaret, making this unique show not only hugely entertaining but also educational.
Weimar & Back has been performed in Paris, New York and at the The London Festival of Cabaret.
