CLUB GELBE STERN
Written by Alexis Fishman and James Millar with songs by Freidrich Hollander, Mischa Spolianksy, Rudolph Nelson and more.
Set in Berlin, 1933, Club Gelbe Stern - a musical in one act - tells the story of Erika Stern, a fictional Jewish chanteuse living and performing in Berlin as the Nazis rise to power. Erika is provocative, sassy, feisty and above all determined to give a magnificent performance to her loyal audience. Using German, British and American cabaret music of the 1920’s and 30’s, Club Gelbe Stern is a cabaret within a play, offering audiences a glimpse into what it may have been like for Jewish performers in the final days of the Weimar Republic.
