Although the actors were wonderful and engaging, the atmosphere was very much the Kitcat club, the most outstanding and wondrous part of this musical was the musicians! Their incredible skill, beautiful tone, dynamics, finesse, I just have no words to express their boldness and delicacy. I've been listening to musical performances in wide ranges of genres for over 60 years, and this was clearly one of the best collection of musicians I have heard probably in my lifetime.

From the time we walked in until the time we left, it was an amazing evening. We were all given a shot of schnapps as we entered the 'Kit Kat Club' while listening to music and dancing debauchery. The cast was amazing and the theatre doesn't have a bad sear in the house (London). There is not one negative thing I could say about this is a 10, for everything.

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.

The moment you enter the Kit Kat Club, you are transported to the 1930s, the theatre decor and atmosphere immerses you into the club, truly feeling like you are there to meet the girls. The music, choreography, and production was the best I've seen. A perfectly marvelous experience!
