We booked last minute as our plans changed , making time for one more show. Not knowing too much about the storyline we headed for the Playhouse to find it had been completely transformed into the Kit Kat club, entering through the side door down a dark dimly lit winding corridor to be offered a schnapps shot by one of the pre show cast . The pre show itself is well worth getting there early for with dancers on the bar and musicians creating a risqué vibe . Once seated in the first row of the dress circle we had a fantastic view of the whole stage and could order drinks from our seat . The show itself was a huge emotional rollercoaster, the set and costumes true to the period and what a performance from the cast !! Absolutely astonishing! The music was also lovely and dark and unsettling at times Easily the best show we've experienced .

An utterly spellbinding night at London’s Cabaret. The intimate, dim Kit Kat Club venue instantly pulls you into 1930s Berlin’s glittering chaos. Every cast member shines—powerful vocals, razor-sharp wit, and raw, heartfelt emotion balanced with playful, raucous fun. The immersive atmosphere makes you feel part of the story, not just an audience. Stunning set, flawless live band, and a haunting, unforgettable ending. Easily the most moving, electrifying West End show I’ve ever seen; worth every penny. London Cabaret was pure magic! Talented performers, intimate immersive vibes, equal parts funny, glamorous and emotional. Unmissable night out in the West End.

We had a wonderful experience at the theatre to see Cabaret. From the start at the Kit Kat Club thru the entire performance the show is so inclusive of the audience that you feel that you are not just there to see a show but rather to experience how life was in Berlin during the late 1930's. The entire cast was amazing and it was a highlight of our time spent in London. Thank you for a wonderful and very fun evening.

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.

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

The preshow already created a magical atmosphere and gave us a headstart for what was to come. The show itself had brilliant choreography and the actors singing voices were my personal highlight!
