FlopHAUS Cabaret: Ballads of a Dark Horse

McColl Center
721 N Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC

Tickets: McColl Center website (see the link in our bio!) and at the door.

FlopHAUS CABARET is inspired by the famously provocative 'ThreePenny Opera' and the legendary Kurt Weill, Lotte Lenya and Bertholt Brecht.

For this edgy, cabaret style social satire Moving Poets has transformed McColl Center into a cabaret club theater and will take you on a thrilling time travel from the 1920s until today.

Defiantly sharp as Mack the Knife's blade, the dark comedy includes nineteen original and contemporary adaptations of Weill's music such as 'Pimp Ballad ’, 'Moon of Alabama', ' Je ne t'aime pas', and ‘Pirate Jenny’.

In the tradition of the witty yet politically dissonant 'ThreePenny Opera', FlopHAUS Cabaret not only entertains, but cunningly challenges hypocrisy, corruption and moral ambiguity in society - with a sharp sense of humor and a wink and nod “Happy End”.

Expressed through theater, dance, jazz and opera, this multi-media music production is performed by national, regional and Charlotte-based actors, dancers, musicians, and singers.

FlopHAUS Cabaret is a Moving Poets and McColl Center collaboration.

Intended for mature audiences.
