Winning a record-breaking seven Olivier awards, CABARET at the Kit Kat Club is one of the most successful musicals of all time. The story of a city, a club, and a generation dancing on the edge of history.
Berlin, 1930. A city alive with music, desire and possibility. The party is in full swing – but a shadow is growing at its edges.
Inside the intimate and electrifying Kit Kat Club, Sally Bowles sings to forget. Cliff Bradshaw writes to remember. And the Emcee reminds us that life is beautiful… until it isn’t.
Featuring some of the most celebrated songs in musical theatre history – including Willkommen, Mein Herr, Maybe This Time, Money and the title number Cabaret – London’s Playhouse Theatre is transformed into Berlin’s legendary Kit Kat Club for an unforgettable experience that the Daily Telegraph still calls “the best show in London”.
Olivier Award nominee Jamie Muscato (The Great Gatsby, Les Misérables) and Tony and Grammy Award nominated Joy Woods (The Notebook, Gyspy) take over the roles of Emcee and Sally Bowles from 25 May 2026. From 7 – 19 September 2026 the role of Sally Bowles will be played by Marina Tavolieri.
CABARET has music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb and a book by Joe Masteroff – based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood.
