We were not aloud to take photos Unfortunately because I would have loved to. It was super cool and swanky. The dancers pre show were amazing We've seen six shows and this one was amazing. The whole experience was top notch. Set actors dancing makeup just every single thing my 15 yr old daughter and I had a wonderful time. One part was a bit racy but she was completely mature about the subject and it made for a great discussion. Thank u all for giving my daughter and I quality time together with a great subject to connect and go deep with we will never forget this time together !!!!!!!!5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎

It was like walking into a Weimar era cabaret, dark and smoky, drinking schnapps as we move into the main bar. There the senses we're overwhelmed with dancers and musicians moving seductively around the bar, for a pre show experience-mesmerizing. Libations being shaken, stirred and poured, enhanced the scene. Moments later we were seated and a show like no other gripped and shook our senses. Wow, such raw, sensual talent sharing a tragic, touching story. This was a triumph for the cast and crew. Amazing!

This was the most unique interpretation of Cabaret I’ve seen—and the one most true to the logic of the story itself. Visually, it was magical from the moment you entered through a backstage-style entrance that made the Kit Kat Club feel timeless and real, while the preshow klezmer beats growing louder and louder built thrilling anticipation. The direction constantly reframed familiar numbers in surprising ways: “Mein Herr” as an inner monologue, “Three Ladies” as a Dionysian free-for-all, and “Don’t Tell Mama” as something genuinely transgressive. Vocally the cast was stellar, Sally was perfectly imperfect, and the pacing stayed fast and fluid throughout. Stealing the show was the supporting actor playing Ernst, whose incongruous little giggle cracked us up every time. And the Act One ending, with the Emcee conducting the orchestra, was stunningly powerful. Highly, highly recommended for its direction, staging, atmosphere, and interpretation.

The London Cabaret experience was beyond anything we had even hoped for! The design of the Kit Cat Club annd the experience getting to our seat created an environment unlike any regular theater experience. The actors and dancers who performed before the play even started invited the audience to come along with them to the Kit Kat Club. The cast, choreography, showmanship, and script worked together to create an unforgettable story about what happened during the World War 2. It was one of the most creative and best theater experiences we have ever had.... and so relevant to what is happening in the world today. Kudos to all the creators of this experience!

A fantastic & intimate show that draws you into the atmosphere of 1930's Berlin...all the more impressive as the set is almost bare, with minimal props, yet the fantastic cast make it all utterly compelling

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.
