It's a magnificent show, performed to a very high professional standard. The performers on stage are perfectly in sync and their talents are remarkable. The costumes are incredible, as is the staging. It's beautiful from start to finish, and even for a French person who doesn't necessarily understand English very well, it's a truly unforgettable experience. I recommend this show to all lovers of musicals.

A real cabaret atmosphere, with magnificent vocal and musical performances. The Kit Kat club alone is worth the trip: the theater is incredible, with a slightly creepy atmosphere to match. And here's a little bonus: you can take your drink with you, bought in one of the 3 bars, to enjoy the show in complete relaxation. I can't recommend the show enough!

The show before the show was great, live music and dancing. Then, then we were welcomed to the start of the actual show. Absolutely brilliant! Got lost in the performance laughing applauding then you suddenly stop and think about what is actually happening . Hugely entertaining and thought provoking.

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.

From the moment we entered the Kit Kat Club we were immersed in the performance - the cast were superb and their obvious enjoyment of their roles involved us. Sally Bowles was played by an understudy Martina and she made the part her own. A star in the making!

The whole setup, the outstanding performance of the songs, the plot background that unfortunately seems oddly up to date...but above all the unforgettable Reeve Carney as Emcee. It was truly marvelous!

The Kitcat club was beautifully designed & the stage was close to our seats near the back of the stalls. The performers were fantastic especially the leads.
