From the moment you step in the door, you're surrounded by glamour, music, and dancing at every turn.

More information about CABARET at the Kit Kat Club
Nearly 60 years after its 1960 premiere, Cabaret remains timeless. Cabaret premiered on Broadway in 1966 and nearly swept that year's Tony Awards, taking home eight awards, including Best Musical, out of 11 nominations. Kander and Ebb won Best Composer And Lyricist (now Best Original Score), and theatre icon Harold Prince won for direction. Joel Grey, who won for playing the Emcee, went on to win an Oscar for reprising the role in the 1972 film opposite Liza Minnelli.
Since the premiere of Cabaret in New York, the musical returned to Broadway three more times: in 1987, 1998, and 2014. The 2024 revival premiered in London in 2021, where it still runs today. Among its seven Oliviers were Best Direction for Frecknall and Best Actor and Actress for Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley, who starred as the Emcee and Sally, respectively.
What to watch for
- Be sure to arrive early! The production immerses audiences in the Kit Kat Club with pre-show entertainment in the lobby and the theatre, and by decorating every inch of the venue to look like the club. You'll want time to explore it all!
- Tom Scutt is not only the scenic and costume designer — common creative jobs on Broadway — but also the club designer, a unique role. He oversees the total transformation of the modern-day New York theatre into the 20th-century Berlin cabaret, on and off the stage.
- Rebecca Frecknall makes her Broadway debut with Cabaret in New York. What a way to start a Broadway career, with a multi-award-winning revival!
- Bookwriter Joe Masteroff based the Cabaret musical on John Van Druten's play I Am a Camera, in turn based on Charles Isherwood's semi-autobiographical book Goodbye to Berlin. The writer Cliff is a stand-in for the author.
- The character of Sally Bowles is based on Jean Ross, a real-life war journalist and activist whom Isherwood met while she was performing as a cabaret singer in Berlin.
