About Cabaret

Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club is staged in London’s Playhouse Theatre and brings Berlin’s famous Kit Kat Club to life in a new West End production. Set in a time when the world is changing forever, it centres on the atmosphere of the club and the songs that have made Cabaret one of the most successful musicals of all time.

Winning a record-breaking seven Olivier Awards, including Best Musical Revival, this production features Wilkommen, Don’t Tell Mama, Mein Herr, Maybe This Time, Money and the title number Cabaret. It 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.

The show is presented in the transformed Playhouse Theatre, giving the production an intimate setting alongside its familiar score and story.

Running time: approximately 2 hours 45 minutes, including an interval. Act 1 is 1 hour 40 minutes and Act 2 is 45 minutes.
