What Visitors Say
The show itself is ok. Artists are talented - brilliant voices and smooth moves. Live music adds to the whole experience but… there is still something missing. Especially if you have paid a lot of money for it. Theatre is an interesting place. Round moving stage. Mixture of history and… wires. There was also some leak straight on few people heads before the Cabaret started but they actually quickly dealt with it. No pictures allowed inside the venue. No pictures to the point that staff member was placing a sticker on each mobile phone camera before you were let in. Cheeky of them, as all of their marketing images will only show round tables - the most expensive seats but none of other seats and those have pretty limited leg room. All Security People and ice cream Man were lovely but some of the staff were unpleasant, including that man who was placing the stickers or barman shouting at us that we were queuing from a wrong direction to the toilets. If you thinking about it, I would go to see something else.
absolutely amazing show!!! loved the staging, direction and costumes! was completely mindblown. no photos of tbe inside because you are not allowed to take pictures upon entering the building but the whole atmosphere, it’s a special show at the theatre!
Absolutely loved Cabaret! Everything about it, from the moment we walked in, was spellbinding. It's so clever how they have transformed the look and feel of the Playhouse. The show was vibrant, funny, sad, tragic, disturbing - it's got the lot. The plot itself has such a powerful political subtext also that sadly feels particularly relevant now. The performances from Matt Willis as Emcee and Katie Hall as Sally were stand out - they were brilliant! But the whole cast were truly fantastic. We loved loved loved it!! This has to be the best theatre experience we have had in years. Go see for yourself! FYI we were Stalls D1&2. Great seats 👍🏻
Interesting show, not much of a story behind it. This show is definitely not suitable for young children. Food tasted pretty bad (very tourist food level). Drinks are okay. One nice thing is they will give you free shots when you enter the venue.
Saw Cabaret in Feb '26 and had a fantastic time. My best friend had seen it before and said it was an excellent rendition of the original. I had never seen it before and only knew the plot loosely before attending and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The pre-performance given by some of the actors was excellent and well worth arriving early to see. We were both pretty bummed that you cannot take pictures at all as we enjoy taking pictures of the venues we see shows in as well as selfies of ourselves with the stage and paraphernalia when we see shows to commemorate the experience, but we both understood given the nature of the show and costumes. Staff were kind and helpful and I couldn't imagine having a better experience or show. The actors were incredible, the music was sublime, and the tale gripping. My only wish besides being able to take photos is that they had a program that didn't cost so much, £15 or roughly $20. I know that is pretty run of the mill for shows in England, and the programs are very detailed and high quality, but even if they just had a regular paper leaflet with names of the actors listed with which character they were playing available for free or for a pound or two would have been nice.

Things to Know Before You Go
Which seats are worth prioritising at Kit Kat Club?
Cabaret tables in the Stalls for maximum immersion and interaction. Dress Circle front rows provide elevated views and stunning staging across the space. For a safer booking, also note: Avoid far-back corners of the Balcony where sightlines are highest and most distant. Some overhang can limit views from the deepest rows. Use that as editorial guidance rather than a guarantee; always check the live seating plan and any seat notes before paying.
Is Kit Kat Club a good venue for seeing Cabaret?
Yes, if you book with the production's scale in mind. Cabaret is currently listed at Kit Kat Club, so choose seats that suit this staging rather than simply buying the cheapest available ticket. For a first visit, a central view is the least risky option.
What kind of night out does Kit Kat Club suit best?
Kit Kat Club works best for Cabaret, immersive theatre, date nights, premium West End experiences and theatre-goers looking for something daring and atmospheric. The right choice depends less on dress code and more on matching the room to the production: intimate plays reward proximity, while spectacle-led musicals usually benefit from a more centred overview.
What should I know about access before booking Kit Kat Club?
Check the venue's official access page or box office before booking wheelchair spaces, transfer seats, step-free routes, companion seats or assisted performances. London venues vary sharply by level, and the most comfortable choice is often a specific access seat rather than a general price band.
How early should I arrive at Kit Kat Club?
Aim to be at the doors around half an hour before the performance, and earlier if you need access support, cloakroom time, box-office collection or a quiet drink. For older West End buildings, late arrival can mean stairs, narrow foyers and a less relaxed start.
What is the easiest way to reach Kit Kat Club?
Embankment is the simplest station to check first. The venue address in our data is Northumberland Avenue. For weekend visits, check engineering works and leave a little extra time around the West End and major transport hubs.

Which Tube stations are closest?
Embankment is 2 minutes away. Charing Cross is also nearby.
Which train station is nearest?
Charing Cross Station (National Rail) is under 5 minutes on foot.
How early should I arrive?

Is there a dress code?
Smart casual is typical. Many guests enjoy adding flair or 1930s Berlin-inspired style.
Is the theatre wheelchair accessible?
Yes. Step-free access to Stalls, accessible toilets and designated wheelchair spaces. Assistance dogs welcome.
Are photos allowed?
Photos in the bar and foyer are fine. No photography during the performance.
