*Cabaret* has endured the test of time, and is one of the most recognisable musicals around. There’s an exciting score by John Kander and Fred Ebb including “Maybe This Time” and “Money.” 

For the first time though, *Cabaret* in London will be presented in an immersive environment, giving audiences the chance to escape for an unforgettable night at the Kit Kat Club.

## What to Watch For:

- For *Cabaret* in London, the Playhouse Theatre will be renovated into an in-the-round auditorium. Audience members will be able to sit at tables to evoke a club setting, rather than a traditional proscenium arch theatre. As a result, the seating capacity at the Playhouse Theatre has been reduced to accommodate 550 patrons per performance. 

- The *Cabaret* musical was first staged in 1966 featuring Joel Grey as the Emcee. However Cabaret became a popular twentieth-century musical thanks to the 1972 Cabaret movie starring Liza Minnelli as Sally Bowles.

Cabaret - 23939 - TT LON

Life is a cabaret, old chum! Don't miss this revival of a Kander and Ebb classic, and be immersed into the Kit Kat Club with the incredible transformation of the Playhouse Theatre. Leave all your troubles at the door and see this seven-time Olivier Award-winning production of *Cabaret* in London's West End.

Willkommen. Bienvenue. Welcome to the Kit Kat Club. The Playhouse Theatre is newly transformed, so get ready to step into a theatrical paradise. *Cabaret* tickets are available on London Theatre now.

Set in early 1930s Berlin, American writer Cliff Bradshaw meets English cabaret singer Sally Bowles, a performer at the Kit Kat Club. But the rise of Nazism threatens this hedonistic Weimar Republic haven. 

*Cabaret*’s enduring success is partly down to Kander and Ebb’s indelible score, with songs like “Wilkommen,” “Don’t Tell Mama,” “Meir Herr,” “Money,” and, or course, the great torch song “Maybe This Time.” This production offers an exciting chance to discover, or revisit, Kander and Ebb’s still hugely resonant musical. 

The Cabaret London musical won seven Olivier Awards, with original cast members Eddie Redmayne, Jessie Buckley, Liza Sadovy, and Elliot Levey. The show features luxury casting, as well as a transformed theatre to provide optimum watching for one of the most-known musicals of all time. Rebecca Frecknall directs, with Tom Scutt providing set and costume design, and choreography by Julia Cheng.

The celebrated *Cabaret* musical opened on Broadway in November 1966, directed by Harold Prince, and has been a hit on both stage and screen, with Bob Fosse’s film version, starring Liza Minnelli, winning eight Oscars. 

Dame Judi Dench led the original West End version, and, in 1993, Sam Mendes’s Donmar Warehouse production, starring Jane Horrocks and Alan Cumming, was greatly acclaimed. Cumming returned for the 2014 Broadway revival, which starred first Michelle Williams, then Emma Stone, and finally Sienna Miller. 

### Who wrote the Cabaret musical?

Cabaret is based on Christopher Isherwood’s short stories in Goodbye to Berlin, and John Van Druten’s play, *I Am a Camera*. Harold Prince led the Cabaret musical creation, teaming up with Joe Masteroff, John Kander and Fred Ebb to bring the stories to life. Find out more about Cabaret in London.

### Where is *Cabaret* playing?

This new *Cabaret* West End production plays at the Kit Kat Club. It promises a very special audience experience. The theatre is reconfigured to seat viewers in the round, creating more intimacy and immersing audiences in the action — there's a limited seating capacity of 550. 

Tickets to *Cabaret* are available now. Book your *Cabaret* tickets on London Theatre today.

We have no troubles here. In here, life is beautiful.The<a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/kit-kat-club"> Kit Kat Club</a> 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.&nbsp;From the gilded lobby, disco-lit basement, and everywhere in between, the space creates an all-encompassing atmosphere, right down to the aptly named cabaret tables, a design element director Sam Mendes also used in his 1993 production at the Donmar and later&nbsp;on Broadway, where it was revived in 2014.&nbsp;However, here, director Rebecca Frecknall levels up the concept, and maybe this time, the stakes are a little higher and a little more intense. Coupled with Tom Scutt's immersive design and Isabella Byrd's atmospheric lighting, this production feels like a world away from outside.&nbsp;Or does it really? The headlines feel eerily similar today as when Joe Masteroff, John Kander, and Fred Ebb wrote their iconic musical about an American writer and a struggling nightclub performer in 1920s Berlin, who find themselves torn between a struggle to survive in love and life amid the rising glare of Nazism. There are, in fact, many troubles here.&nbsp;And Frecknall doesn't pull any punches with her high-concept approach, which takes a cue from Christopher Isherwood's Goodbye to Berlin and John van Druten's 1951 play, on which the show is based. The approaching horror and absurdism of this escape is at the forefront, and her highly choreographed tableau feels like a ballet or a marionette show, where someone calculating is pulling all the strings.&nbsp;At the center of this circus stands the Emcee, played here with impish wackiness by Eddie Redmayne. Redmayne slithers around the stage, contorting his being every which way to almost distracting effect. Redmayne is not a commanding showman, as is a tempting take for the Emcee, but instead he uses gesture and sensuality to make the audience lean in. As the musical gets progressively darker, Redmayne's Emcee becomes more and more absurd, almost half American Horror Story: Freakshow and half Martha Graham dancer, and his final iteration is the most horrific.&nbsp;In contrast to Redmayne, Jessie Buckley is all bravado and belt. Her Sally Bowles is the ultimate starlet, taking a note or three from Liza Minelli's iconic film performance in the role, and she dominates the stage with effortless charisma and appeal. She's irresistible. Even in the quieter, heartbreaking moments, she conveys an emotional depth and density, and she nails the 11 o'clock title song. (While many may argue that Sally Bowles as a character is not supposed to be a good singer, neither this production nor Buckley respect that take.)This production highlights the ensemble nature of the show, featuring a chorus of extremely talented dancers, seemingly inventing new ways to move with Julia Cheng's choreography, and the supporting cast offers a deep emotional contrast to the more showy club scenes.&nbsp;As Fraulein Scheider and Herr Schultz, Liza Sadovy and Elliot Levey hold the beating heart of the piece and shatter it into pieces. Anna-Jane Casey stands out as Fraulein Kost, and Omari Douglas does his best naive fish-out-of-water as American writer Clifford Bradshaw.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/23939-cabaret">Cabaret</a> feels like a story we need and also don't need right now. On the one hand, it's a glorious ode to escapism and forgetting the troubles that bind us. But some of the "troubles" we're going through right now aren't that far off from Jazz Age Berlin, with abortion legislation under fire in the United States and government oversight of Covid-19 brewing further division.&nbsp;And Frecknall's searing, haunting final stage portrait seems to imply that escapism only lasts so long. Sooner or later, if we don't face our troubles, our troubles will find us. After all, life isn't really a cabaret, old chum.<a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/23939-cabaret">Cabaret is playing at the Kit Kat Club.

Born in North Carolina, USA, Marisha Wallace is an Olivier-nominated actress who has appeared in many West End and Broadway productions. Wallace is starring in *Cabaret* alongside Billy Porter.

Growing up, Wallace was often singing to large crowds. Whether it was at school or at church mass, everyone who listened to Wallace fell in love with her voice. After high school, Wallace eventually went on to graduate from East Carolina University with a degree in musical theatre and theatre education.

Wallace’s professional theatre debut was as Ado Annie in a regional production of *Oklahoma!*. For her performance, she won a Drammy Award for Best Actress in a Musical, which celebrated theatre in the Oregon area. Following this, Wallace was then cast in the US tour of *[The Book of Mormon](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/the-book-of-mormon)*, alongside original London cast members Gavin Creel and Jared Gertner.

In 2014, Wallace made her Broadway debut in the original company of Disney’s *Aladdin*. She played the Fortune Teller in the Broadway production. A year later, Wallace then joined the original company of *Something Rotten!* as an ensemble member.

Her London debut would come in 2017, cast as the alternate Effie White in *[Dreamgirls](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/dreamgirls)* at the [Savoy Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/savoy-theatre). However, once Amber Riley left the production, Wallace was bumped up to playing Effie White fulltime, sharing the role with Karen Mav and Moya Angela.

Wallace has continued her theatre career on this side of the pond. She originated the role of Becky in the West End production of *[Waitress](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/waitress)* at the [Adelphi Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/adelphi-theatre), starring alongside [Katharine McPhee](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/katharine-mcphee). After she left *Waitress*, Wallace's solo musical career took off, and she’s now sung at the [Royal Albert Hall](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/royal-albert-hall) and on the Royal Variety Performance.

Wallace played [London Coliseum](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/london-coliseum) as Motormouth Maybelle in *[Hairspray](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/hairspray)*, alongside [Michael Ball](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/actor-profile/michael-ball) as Edna Turnblad. The *Hairspray* [review in London Theatre raved of](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/review-hairspray-starring-michael-ball-at-the-london-coliseum) “the knockout performance comes from Marisha Wallace as Motormouth Maybelle, whose “I Know Where I’ve Been” begins as an intimate, bluesy number, sung to her children, and builds to a great cry, testifying about her experiences and beseeching the heavens for progress.” 

Following *Hairspray*, Wallace played Ado Annie in *Oklahoma!* at the Young Vic, receiving an Olivier Award nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical.

Wallace recently starred in the Bridge Theatre production of *Guys & Dolls*, receiving an Olivier nomination for her performance as Miss Adelaide.
