Experience The Best London Theatre Tickets

There are productions that entertain you, and then there are productions that fundamentally alter what you think theatre can be. The Kit Kat Club's Cabaret is emphatically the latter. From the moment you descend into that basement and a painted stranger looks you square in the eye, you understand that something different is about to happen. We were in the stalls - BB11 and BB12 - close enough to feel the full heat of it. That is the only way to see this show. The whole premise that you, the audience, are the cabaret is not a gimmick. It earns its conceit entirely. Sitting at those candlelit tables with performers threading between you, the fourth wall doesn't just come down; it never existed in the first place. The acting is on another level. Every scene lands with the weight of people who are not merely performing their roles but inhabiting them completely. There were moments of such concentrated emotion that the stalls went utterly still - the kind of quiet that only happens when an entire audience stops breathing at the same time. The Emcee is a creature of pure theatrical instinct: charming, sinister, funny, and ultimately devastating in a way that stays with you long after you leave. Sally Bowles's trajectory lands with the gut-punch that good storytelling earns honestly rather than manipulates for. And the singing. These are not songs that impress you - they are songs that carry the drama forward, that say what the characters cannot. The voices doing that work are extraordinary, and from where we were sitting it felt entirely live and immediate, like something being conjured rather than rehearsed. What elevates this beyond spectacle is its moral seriousness. The slow creep of what's coming, the sense that pleasure and complicity are not so far apart - you find yourself laughing at something and then sitting with the discomfort of having laughed. That is not an accident. That is craft. My husband and I barely spoke on the way out. There was nothing to add.

Excellent show that I'd highly recommend. Even though I've known of Oliver since I was young, I'd actually forgotten the story line, so really enjoyed how this unfolded.

If you'd like to experience live theatre just like our grandparents did, go to see this gem of a performance. With intimate sized auditorium and friendly staff, you will be immersed in history.

The show was an excellent representation of a Sherlock Holmes story - captivating, intriguing, exciting and mysterious to the end. The acting was excellent by all the cast especially Watson and Mary. And like most Holmes stories, a twist at the end. Perfect outdoor theatre in spite of it being relentlessly hot.

Outstanding performance by every actor involved in this show. Production was faultless. Emotionally intense so would not recommend vommend for small children

Excellent! The actors brilliantly portrayed a story which provoked many emotions. A hundred minute rollercoaster ride that makes you laugh, cry and acknowledge the void between generations, which collectively must be filled.

Superb production. Not a weak link in the actors. Theatre was hot and seats tight and uncomfortable. No raked seating made it difficult to see all the time and stage above the seats in the stalls was unexpected. I might have chosen other seats had I known.

Great music and story line and amazing performers. We knew nothing about it and it was one of the few musicals that we hadn’t already seen in a theater or movie, so we thought we’d try it during our short stay in London. So glad we did!

Lobed the show as story line was pigsty and the acting particularly of the main actress was outstanding . One of the best plays i have seen

Definitely a comedy and a little poignant at times ! It is for those who enjoy laughing out loud and can accept all walks of life . The cast is so strong and the writer is razor sharp
