Cabaret is a phenomenal show and this performance exceeded every expectation! Very immersive. Would definitely recommend getting there at least 30 minutes early as there are cast members getting ready in the hallway and dancing behind a curtain and playing violin and clarinet on the stage. They even came up into the seats to do mini bits while people were getting seated. Very very cool. Costumes, acting, and singing was all phenomenal. Very haunting ending.

Incredible acting, singing and dancing. From the time we entered the Kit Kat theater, we enjoyed the dancing, piano playing and ambiance. The actress playing the role of Sally was superb not to mention the MCee who was hypnoticing. Thre was not one actor that did not exceed our expectations. Entertaining, heartfelt and moving performances all around.

Based on Christopher Isherwood’s Goodbye to Berlin and immortalised by Liza Minnelli’s 1972 film, Cabaret remains one of musical theaters's most influential works.

Directed by Rebecca Frecknall (A Streetcar Named Desire) with design by Tom Scutt, this revival redefines immersive theater with its in-the-round staging and pre-show “prologue” experience.

Featuring an electrifying score by John Kander & Fred Ebb, expect unforgettable numbers like "Wilkommen", "Mein Herr", "Maybe This Time", and "Cabaret".

Playing at the Kit Kat Club inside the Playhouse Theatre, this record-breaking West End phenomenon has audiences queuing nightly. Book your Cabaret London tickets now!

The story

Berlin, 1930. The Kit Kat Club pulses with life as the world outside fractures. Here, singer Sally Bowles and writer Cliff Bradshaw chase dreams amid political turmoil. Presided over by the enigmatic Emcee, the club becomes both escape and mirror, a glittering illusion as fascism creeps closer. In Cabaret, laughter and jazz blur with fear and survival, until the spotlight fades.

Here we are at the kit kat club in London. We enter a hushed, slightly smoky space, with red staircases everywhere. Restricted spaces with music, dancers and golden bars on every level. We're right in the cabaret mood. After following a labyrinth of steps and narrow corridors, we finally found the entrance to the room where we were seated. And here too, surprise, it's in the shape of a small amphitheatre, with wooden seats, carpeted floors and dimmed lighting throughout. The stage is round in the middle, and around it are small tables with individual lights... It's a bit "moulin rouge". Promising ... And we're not disappointed! The show lives up to our expectations, with incredible performances by actors, singers and dancers. A magical evening
