Amazing show!
"First of all, I love the musical Cabaret. I saw it on Broadway about 20 years ago. This revival did not disappoint. The contrast between life inside and outside the Kit Kat Club was well done. Costumes and choreography were great. I would definitely see it again. "

So Memorable
"I really did not remember much of the story as I never saw it on Broadway before and could not remember seeing the movie. The cast was amazing and the story very poignant. I was very excited to see Eddie Redmayne and he did not disappoint. I may go again to see the show when Adam Lambert joins as he is one of the most talented entertainers around. While I knew that Gayle Rankin was not going to be in the performance I did not at all feel cheated as Gabi Campo was so amazing! "

Wildly entertaining.
"The moment you step into the theater, it immediately transports you back in time as if you're standing/sitting in a Berlin nightclub. As an audience member, you become part of the show. Amazing talent and costumes. The sound and lights were excellent too. Highly recommend this show. "

Great take!
"The performances by all actors were incredible and the round stage made for a really interesting production. The Pineapple Club is worth adding on. We really enjoyed the entire experience. "

Life is beautiful…
"First, I love Cabaret and was really excited to see this iteration. I was not disappointed! I loved the transformation of the August Wilson Theater and all the prologue entertainment. Go early and enjoy! The general staging of the show was well-done. There was a sinister, nightmarish quality to several scenes that was very effective. Eddie Redmayne was wonderful, as was Gayle Rankin. Just incredible. Bebe Neuwirth and Steven Skybell were outstanding as well. I felt the tempo of some of the songs was a little slower than what I’ve heard in the past (Don’t Tell Mama & Mein Herr) but this didn’t necessarily detract from the show. I loved it….definitely buy tickets and get over to the Kit Kat Club!!!"

This version of Cabaret is an fascinating experience not simply a show
"We enjoyed everything about the Kit Kat Club. It wasn’t a show, it was an experience. Although we had read the material, it was a little confusing when we arrived but once the pre-show performances began we realized we were already ‘hanging out’ in the seedy intriguing Kit Kat Club. Eddie Redmayne was amazing and the diverse sexuality of the fantastic entertainers added to the show. "

Great Revival
"Loved everything about Cabaret, especially the novel theater in the round experience. The producers spared no expense renovating the old theater to create the Kit Kat Club complete with cocktail table service down front. Although we were in the front Mezz, seats were great and show fabulous. Eddie Redmayne is amazing. Gale Ranskin was off but here understudy was great! Rave reviews all around!"

Exciting evening
"Having seen Cabaret before on Broadway I found this production to be especially exciting . The theater in the round format added to the feeling of being part of the show . All of the cast were amazing but I will never forget Gayle Rankins second act performance "

Show too long
"I would cut out 30 mins to 45 mins out of the show. It was long and slow. The first act was nearly 2 hours. The Gorilla scene has to go. Also the Caberet song needs to be shortened. We also bought wine that was terrible and not worth the price paid."

The pre shows were amazing Talented cast of actors
"Two shows in one . The costumes and songs entertain in the round stage led by Eddie Redmayne. Bebe Neuwirth dazzle as her story unfolds and must choose life over happiness in occupied Germany. Gayle Rankin brings life to the amazing tunes in this fantastic production."

A must see Broadway
"The set design was amazing - you really felt like you were in a Berlin cabaret circa late 1930’s. While the bawdiness and themes may be over the heads of children, this is decidedly a show for adults."

Amazing! Just didn’t love some directorial decisions
"All the performers were absolutely wonderful! We did see Sally’s understudy, but thought she did an amazing job. Orville was very fun. Only things I didn’t like were some directorial/conceptual choices. I understand what the director was going for, I just personally didn’t like some of the decisions. Also didn’t love some of the costuming choices. But overall it was a great experience! And it was very cool to “be in” the Kit Kat Club!"

Intimate and Dark
"An immersive experience to walk into the theatre and arrive in the Kit Kat Klub. The theatre was a little hard to navigate with how the theatre was reorganized but the talent and the intimate feel of the show was incredible. "

I walked in blind.
"The Theatre was beautifully transformed into the Kit Kat Klub and the audience is immediately immersed in the experience. We were disappointed to learn upon entry that Adam Lambert would not appear as indicated when we purchased our tickets, but the understudy, Marty Lauter was nothing short of spectacular in his role as the Emcee. I had never seen the movie or any other stage production of Cabaret so I had no preconceived ideas of how the show "should be". I found the symbolism to be thought provoking and continually interesting. The actors were wonderful, and the orchestra was spectacular. The musicians who appeared in the Kit Kat bars prior to the show set the mood perfectly. The pre-show experience was definitely a highlight of the show. Side note: The show does contain mature elements which may not be appropriate for young children or the overly uptight. "

About Cabaret

Willkommen. Bienvenue. Welcome to the Kit Kat Club. Home to the smash-hit production of Cabaret that Entertainment Weekly hails as “an unforgettable and jaw-dropping experience,” and New York Magazine declares “a glitzy, entertaining and ingenious revival that goes all out."

Through September 21, 2025, the incandescent Marisha Wallace stars as Sally Bowles on Broadway, and the role of Emcee will be shared by Marty Lauter and David Merino.

Experience this groundbreaking musical like never before. The denizens of the Kit Kat Club have created a decadent sanctuary inside Broadway’s August Wilson Theatre, where artists and performers, misfits and outsiders rule the night. Step inside their world. This is Berlin. Relax. Loosen up. Be yourself.
