Tone Cluster Presents the Classic Film Cabaret—An Audience Singalong and Fundraiser
Date: Saturday, February 21, 2026
Location: Bytowne Cinema – 325 Rideau Street, Ottawa
Showtime: 6:15 pm (Doors open 5:45 pm.)
Join Tone Cluster at the film classic “Cabaret,” a singalong and fundraiser for the choir.
This 1972 film musical won 8 Academy Awards and stars Liza Minnelli as Sally Bowles and Joel Grey as the emcee, both in iconic performances. The film is set in Berlin in the 1930s, depicting the cabaret club scene amidst the brutal rise of the Nazi party, making it increasingly relevant during these turbulent times.
Dress up as your favourite major character and participate in our costume contest. There will be a prize for the best costume!
