Goodbye to Berlin: 2 recorded works trace back to it.
Works that record this one as a source, with the evidence a contributor gave.
Bob Fosse's film is the end of a chain that starts with Isherwood's book: John Van Druten's play I Am a Camera (1951) dramatised it, and the 1966 musical Cabaret was built on the play. The film credits the musical, the play and Isherwood's stories, and its central character, Sally Bowles, played by Liza Minnelli, comes from the book's section of that name.
Kander and Ebb's musical, with a book by Joe Masteroff, is credited as based on Christopher Isherwood's Berlin stories and John Van Druten's play I Am a Camera, adapted from them. Sally Bowles, the cabaret and the approach of the Nazis come from Isherwood's Berlin of the early 1930s.
