Women wearing corsets and fishnet stockings alongside usually topless men drew a sold-out crowd to the George Sherman Union Ballroom Saturday night for Boston University’s production of “Cabaret.”

The show was put on by On Broadway, BU’s undergraduate musical theater group for non-theater majors, according to Cabaret Director Brad Jones, a College of Communication junior.

The group had to add a faculty advisor – BU dance instructor Anne Allen – before they were given the rights to perform the musical, he said. The group sold more than 170 tickets for Saturday night’s 8 p.m. show.

College of Arts and Sciences and School of Education sophomore Beri Brown choreographed the dance numbers and the musical included a 17-person cast.

The group paid $1,100 for rights to the stage, which allowed them to perform the big-name show, Jones said.

“We were pretty much blessed by [the Student Union Allocations Board],” he said. “They pretty much paid for everything, and we’re planning on making the money back with ticket sales.”
