Set during the rise of Nazism at Berlin’s seedy cabaret spot The Kit Kat Club, Rebecca Frecknall’s production of Kander and Ebb’s musical has seen some incredible stars take to the stage, including Eddie Redmayne, Jessie Buckley, Jake Shears, and Rebecca Lucy Taylor. Now is the turn of *Bridgerton* star Hannah Dodd and *My Son's a Queer* performer Rob Madge to become cabaret performer Sally Bowles and the Emcee, the Club’s ghoulish Master of Ceremonies. It’s a perfectly marvellous bit of casting! See the duo take over from Marisha Wallace and Billy Porter from 29 May.

## 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.

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.

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.

Just For One Day - LON - London Theatre

Live Aid was a groundbreaking charity concert held on July 13, 1985 that aimed to tackle the devastating famine in Ethiopia. The event took place simultaneously in London, UK, and across the pond in Philadelphia, USA. It was a global musical phenomenon showcasing some of the music industry's biggest names.

The concert featured a star-studded lineup, including legendary artists like Queen, U2, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, and Madonna. What set Live Aid apart was its global reach. It was one of the first international concerts broadcast live on television. It was a remarkable display of the power of music to inspire change and make a positive impact on a global scale. Live Aid remains a historic moment in the world of music and humanitarian efforts. 

## What To Watch For

- Live Aid was held simultaneously at two venues on 13 July 1985: Wembley Stadium in London, England, and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, USA. The event spanned across two continents and lasted for 16 hours.
- Phil Collins is known for performing at both the London and Philadelphia concerts on the same day. He famously took a Concorde flight to make it happen.
- Live Aid was not just about music; it was a massive fundraising effort to combat famine in Ethiopia. The event raised around $127 million (equivalent to over $300 million today) to aid famine relief efforts.
- Queen's frontman, Freddie Mercury, delivered one of the most iconic performances in rock history during Live Aid. Their set at Wembley Stadium is often regarded as one of the greatest live performances ever, and even appears in the award-winning 2018 film Bohemian Rhapsody.
- Estimates indicate that over 1.9 billion people from 150 countries tuned in to watch the performances, establishing it as one of the most-watched TV broadcasts in history.

Now the show – *Giant* – has won the Olivier for best new play. Luckily it’s doing a short run in the West End this summer, so don’t skip the opportunity twice! Accomplished director Mark Rosenblatt’s writing debut about a troubling period in author Roald Dahl’s life in the 1980s has scary relevancy to current events.

*Giant* in London has a talented creative team at its helm including Tony and Olivier-winning director Nicholas Hytner (*Carousel, The History Boys*), lighting designer Anna Watson (*That is Not Who I Am, Imposter 22*), Tony and Olivier-winning theatre designer Bob Crowley (*Mary Poppins, An American in Paris*), and sound designer Alexandra Faye Braithwaite (*Bloody Elle, How Not to Drown*).

This play is the first by Mark Rosenblatt. However, he is no stranger to theatre as he’s been a director for years, including his time as the associate director at Leeds Playhouse from 2013-16. He also wrote and directed the short film, *Ganef*, inspired by his family’s Holocaust survival story. The film won multiple awards and was selected for numerous film festivals. 

## What to watch for

- *Giant* is a play that was originally commissioned for the Bridge Theatre. However, they could not stage the show because of *Guys and Dolls*, so the show was moved to the Royal Court to be a part of David Byrne's first year as the artistic director. 
- Roald Dahl has recently been in the news when, in 2023, many words in his books were altered or removed from upcoming printings to take out negative references to gender, skin colour, disabilities, and the like.
- Some of Roald Dahl's stories have been turned into plays and musicals, including *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* and *Matilda*. However, this is the first play centred on the scandal surrounding his personal life. 
- Romola Garai, who starred in the Royal Court run, has been Olivier-nominated for her role in the play. She has also been nominated for her role in *The Years*, meaning she is up for two Olivier Awards in the same category in 2025.
