Leave all your troubles at the door because Cabaret has extended in the West End, with performances now running at the Kit Kat Club through to 28 September 2024.

In a four-star Cabaret review on London Theatre, our critic raves: "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 you'll be greeted with complimentary schnapps, dancing chorus members, and a lascivious pre-show smorgasbord."

John Kander and Fred Ebb's timeless Cabaret score explores the complicated love story between cabaret performer Sally Bowles and American writer Cliff Bradshaw, transforming The Playhouse Theatre into 1930s Berlin, the home of the theatrical paradise: the Kit Kat Club.

Music icons Jake Shears and Rebecca Lucy Taylor AKA Self Esteem currently lead the cast as The Emcee and Sally Bowles.

The cast also includes Nathan Ives-Moiba as Clifford Bradshaw, Beverley Klein as Fraulein Schneider and Teddy Kempner as Herr Schultz, Jessica Kirton as Fraulein Kost/Fritzie, and Wilf Scolding as Ernst Ludwig. Nic Myers will play alternate Sally Bowles (scheduled to perform once a week).

The ensemble is completed by Liv Alexander as Texas, Natalie Chua as Frenchie, Laura Delany as Rosie, Taite-Elliot Drew as Hans, Damon Gould as Victor, El Haq Latief as Helga, Grant Neal as Herman/Max, Hicaro Nicolai as Lulu and Travis Ross as Bobby, alongside Rebecca Lisewski, Ela Lisondra, Nic Myers, Andy Rees, Toby Turpin and Patrick Wilden.
