  I really loved Cabaret. From beginning to end, I was completely fascinated by the whole experience. The atmosphere, the performances and the music were incredible, and I found myself getting genuinely emotional at some moments. Such a beautiful and unique production that I’ll definitely remember for a long time. I’m so glad I got to experience it!

  Incredible!!! The show and the actors are beyond exceptional, and the stage and costumes fit the scene perfectly. We also had an unpleasant moment because of the majority of the audience laughing at the 2nd Act, but it was dealt with very professionally by Jamie Muscato as the Emcee. It is not a replica of the very first show of Cabaret, but instead, it adds new interpretations and visual symbolism which works to amplify what we see and feel as an audience. I have cried after the show, and I cannot stress enough how much I recommend watching it, given the chance. Also, front row seats ARE worth it.

  The Kit Kat Club experience- reminded me of New Romantic nightclubbing in the 1980’s- being led down dark corridors past electrical conduits and wiring, down some stairs before being crammed into a bar where some of the beautiful people are dancing along to bohemian music. The theatre itself is a rabbit warren of staircases, joint- use toilets and more bars - some leading to your theatre seats and some not. In our case the journey from our designated bar (for interval drinks) involved going down three flights of stairs, walking around the edge of the stage to the other side of the theatre and then going up three more flights of stairs to reach our seats. We found this quite quirky but people with mobility issues would need to check beforehand about moving around inside the venue. There was also the option to have your interval drinks delivered to your seats- in hindsight a better choice for many people. We chose not to spend a vast amount on tickets- despite having heard such good things about the tables and lower level seats- and picked the dress circle. A great view of the stage in the round and excellent sound quality and a great view of the musicians which I always love when attending musicals or the opera if possible. The show itself was amazing. Great emotional performances that brought a whole new meaning to the original material and left me in tears at the end of Joy Woods’ final number. Overall we really enjoyed the whole thing- the quirky, bohemian and slightly ‘back-door’ nature of the club itself, the pre show performers, even the expensive drinks (if you don’t want to spend £25 on a cocktail this isn’t the show for you) were large and delicious. We began the event feeling decadent and a bit ‘underground’ and left pondering life and the nature of living for the moment.

  Wir hatten für die Vorstellung Cabaret zwei Karten im Vorfeld gekauft für viel Geld. Leider hatten wir übersehen, dass die Vorstellung erst um 19;30 anfing. Da wir auf die Einlasszeit 18:15 beachten haben, waren wir natürlich viel zu früh. Abgesehen davon, ob man vorher an der Bar einen Seink nehmen möchte oder nicht, der Voruam war so klein, dass nixht alle Mwnschen dort reinpassen. Dann war dort die Klimaanlage gefüllt auf 12 Grad eingestellt und pusstete vollen Wind, so wir wir schon 1 h vor der Vorstellung in den Theatersall flüchten. Leider war dort die Klimaanlage mit noch größeren Öffnungen gleich hinter uns mit vollem Wind auf sicher weniger als 17 Grad eingestellt. Leider konnten und wollten wir dann nicht länger bleiben. Wir empfehlen mitzunehmen Pulover und warme Schuhe. Der Erste Teil geht 100 Minuten und der zweite 40 Minuten plus 30 Minuten Pause. Es reicht, wenn man hier um 19:15 kommt und vorher etwas isst. Leider kann man drinnen keine Fotos machen. Die Kameras der Handys werden mit einem Sticker zugeklebt.

  amazing show but whoever is working the line out front genuinely needs a reality check. he was repeating the same spiel about not being able to go to the bathroom during the show because you cant get back in and i had clearly heard it already so i walked forward, he SCREAMED at me to come back and listen even when i said i had already heard him and he was taking a while repeating the same things i had heard already so i tried walking forward again to get my tickets scanned so i could go get a drink and sit down and he screamed even louder at me? this is not the way to treat patrons of your business especially when we spend as much as we do on these tickets. mind you im also a young woman and this was a grown man, i found it extremely inappropriate and unprofessional. they also stopped mid scene to turn on all the lights and clean the stage which completely took us out of the moment and it took them a while to get back to the show. the cast and bartenders were great, everything else about this staff was horrible
