Winner of Best Takeover Performance (Aimee Lou Wood) and Best West End Show at the WhatsOnStage Awards 2024
The Kit Kat Club has taken over the Playhouse Theatre while it has been standing empty, making way for the electrifying musical, CABARET. The marginalised have staked a claim, the artists have taken over, filled their container and found their community.
The role of Sally Bowles is played by Katherine Langford (13 Reasons Why) and the role of The Emcee is played by Adam Gillen (Benidorm), with Daniel Bowerbank in the role of Clifford Bradshaw. From 28th January 2025, the role of Sally Bowles will be played by Marisha Wallace (Dreamgirls, Guys & Dolls) and the role of The Emcee will be played by Billy Porter (Kinky Boots, POSE)
One of the most successful musicals of all time, CABARET features the songs Wilkommen, Don’t Tell Mama, Mein Herr, Maybe This Time, Money and the title number. It has music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, book by Joe Masteroff, based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood.
CABARET has won numerous awards, with seven Olivier Awards including Best Musical Revival and Best Actor and Actress in a Musical for Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley.

It’s 1930s Berlin. It’s 2020s London. It’s Then, it’s Now. Who knows how long it will reside here. For now, we’re enjoying the party. The party at the end of the world.
Set in 1930s Berlin under the Weimar Republic, Cabaret the Musical tells the story of a racy, underground nightclub, the Kit Kat Club. It’s told through the lives of enigmatic Cabaret performers, The Emcee and cabaret singer Sally Bowles, played by Layton Williams and Rhea Norwood.
Before the show, guests are invited to enjoy the club with drinks, dining and pre-show entertainment all on offer. When booking, guests will receive a ‘club entry time’ and, for the richest experience and to immerse themselves fully in the club, we encourage people to arrive early.
