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.

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.

“In this fine balance of spectacle and grit, decadence and despair, Frecknall proves herself one of our most exciting directors.”

I loved that the experience begun as soon as you entered the first door, you were already at the Kit Kat Club. It was really cool to be immersed into the experience that way. I also loved that it was a round stage and how the whole show was built around that. 100% recommended
