What is CABARET about?
One of the most successful musicals of all time, CABARET has been widely praised as the ultimate theatrical experience since it opened in December 2021. The production won a record-breaking seven Olivier Awards in 2022, the most for any musical revival in Olivier history.
Audiences can enjoy Joe Masteroff's in an entirely new immersive way. With chance to explore the Kit Kat Club with pre-show entertainment, drinks and dining all on offer - you receive a 'club entry time' in order to make the most of your time before the show starts. The production does not miss out on the iconic music score from John Kander with 'Wilkommen', 'Maybe This Time' and 'Mein Herr' very much still a part of Rebecca Frecknall's direction with this modernistic presentation of CABARET.
What do the reviews say?
★★★★★ "A vibrant and frightening revival" - The Independent

"Director Rebecca Frecknall explodes the already eccentric world inside the Kit Kat club by leaning into the elements of visual fantasy" - City AM
