Cabaret has a total of eighteen songs, which include timeless gems from Kander and Ebb like “Don’t Tell Mama,” “Maybe This Time,” and “Mein Herr.” After featuring in the 1972 movie starring Liza Minelli, the producers added the latter two songs to later productions that were not part of the original stage show.
Joe Masteroff wrote the book for Cabaret, with music composed by John Kander and lyrics provided by Fred Ebb.
Rebecca Frecknall directs the London revival of Cabaret. She is best known for her work at the Almeida theatre, where she has directed various productions, including Summer and Smoke, Sanctuary City, and A Streetcar Named Desire.
Cabaret is not recommended for those under the age of 13. This is due to suggestive sexual content, references to abortion, an incidence of domestic violence, and anti-Semitism.
Cabaret is a stunning revival that received seven Olivier Awards in 2022. In their review, London Theatre raves about Cabaret saying, “The Kit Kat Club is the ultimate escape. After a difficult or even ordinary day, the fanfare, glitz, and glamour feel like a portal to another time, where a member of staff will greet you with complimentary peach schnapps, dancing chorus members, and a lascivious pre-show smorgasbord.”
Cabaret features a pre-show around different areas of the theatre before the main show begins. The Playhouse Theatre has been transformed into the Kit Kat Club and is a highly immersive production.
Cabaret includes a pre-show. To ensure you can enjoy the pre-show entertainment, we recommend arriving around an hour before your show begins.
