Things to Know Before You Go
Is this production of Cabaret suitable for children?
This Cabaret is not suitable for young children. It contains mature themes, including sexuality, political extremism and anti-Semitism, and some scenes are intense or unsettling by design. It is generally recommended for audiences aged 13 and over, with parental discretion advised for teenagers.
How immersive is the Kit Kat Club experience?
From the moment you arrive at the theatre, the world of the show gradually surrounds you. The bars, pre-show atmosphere, staging and seating have been carefully designed to make you feel like a guest at the Kit Kat Club. You remain seated throughout the performance, but the proximity of the cast and band creates a vivid sense of being inside the cabaret itself.
How long does Cabaret run and is there an interval?
Cabaret runs for approximately 2 hours 45 minutes, including an interval. The pacing balances high-energy musical numbers with quieter, more reflective scenes, so the evening feels substantial without dragging.
Do I need to know the film or original musical beforehand?
No prior knowledge is required. The production tells the story clearly on its own terms. If you know the film or previous stage versions, you will notice differences in emphasis and staging, but newcomers will follow the narrative and characters without difficulty.
About this show
Step off the Strand and into the smoky decadence of 1930s Berlin as the Playhouse Theatre is reborn as the Kit Kat Club. This award-winning production of Cabaret places you at the heart of the action, with intimate staging, live music and a club atmosphere that begins the moment you enter the building.
Inside, singer Sally Bowles, writer Clifford Bradshaw and the enigmatic Emcee dance on the edge of a world about to change forever. Between show-stopping numbers such as Willkommen, Maybe This Time and the title song Cabaret, the production slowly reveals the rising tide of danger beyond the club’s doors. Both thrilling entertainment and a chilling warning from history, this Cabaret is a powerful, immersive experience for audiences ready for a darker, more provocative night in the West End.
