I just can't believe they called it the Kit Kat Klub.

That's the actual name of the club in the musical (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabaret_(musical))).

I know. What do you expect from the Kit Kat Klub?

But also who the fuck names anything professional KKK? I get that it's kind of like "adult entertainment" so I guess there's a bit more like, edginess to it, but jesus. Like you wouldnt make your porn star name Ivanna Hitler or something. It just seems like a really bad idea and only a 16 year old would actually go through with it.

Cabaret's a musical, the Kit Kat Klub is the name of the club where it's set. The musical is about Nazis, and it was written when the KKK was more popular. It's supposed to be a parallel, I think.

Right? They all look like big fans of Kit Kats lol! I forgot to mention, the whole thing was filled with anti-semitic 'jokes'. The male lead called Nazis bad but the rest of the characters went along with it for the most part. Then at the end when we left they had another set of hams wearing Nazi trenchcoats at the doors trying to look sexy. It was creepy. I'm not sure how they got away with this ._.

The undertone of the show is that they kind of have no choice but to go along with the Nazis. But yeah I'm guessing this is a local theater company, wouldn't guess it'd even be regional at that point. I do a lot of work in small theaters and can confirm there are lots of hams.

Funny enough, I'm doing The Producers right now. Nazi jokes everywhere. I was one of the only women that auditioned that wasn't overweight and was cast as the romantic female lead. We just had measurement day for costumes and the lady measuring calls out the number for each measurement so an assistant can write it down. I volunteered to go third out of all the women. You should have seen their faces when they heard the bust and waist measurements lol.
