TICKETS + INFORMATION

The Potemkin Village concentration camp of Terezín/Theresienstadt housed many artists and musicians (until they were deported elsewhere for extermination). They created a lot of very attractive music there in the racy 1920s/30s Czech Neoclassical style. And, along similar lines, some very appealing cabaret — the focus of this show. Less appealing is that it was written, knowingly, in the shadow of death — but of course the whole point of cabaret is a dark underbelly.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, of course you’ll go to Pastrami Queen. Streaming at home, have a Beton: pour 2 oz. Becherovka into a Collins glass over ice. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and toss in the spent lemon. Top with tonic water. You can also throw in a lime wedge if you want.
