Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Wilkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome to the seediest, spookiest, strangest show in town. Descend down, down, down into the red-lit bowels of the KitKat Club – don’t miss the free shot of schnapps on your way in – and up, up, up into the magnificent Gold Bar, where corseted dancers writhe above the top-shelf liquor. Inside the Playhouse, transformed from top to bottom by Tom Scutt, 1920s opulence meets the grit and sleaze of Berlin nightlife: ushers proffer champagne to tables, musicians warm up the crowd with jazz solos, and a hundred lamps pierce the smoky haze. When the tasseled chandeliers rise into the rafters, settle in and lose yourself in the dark magic of Cabaret.

4/5

"It’s a lot. There’s the Hollywood superstar off doing his own thing. There’s the radical redesign of the theatre, and the bells and whistles that come with that. There’s the costumes and overtly queer aesthetic – the desire to adopt some of the characteristics of a safe LGBTQ+ space. And then the actual, brilliant, chilling story of ‘Cabaret’, superbly realised, with a performance from Jessie Buckley that deserves to win awards. Frecknall’s show doesn’t need all of this to work, and in places less could have been more. But fundamentally, it’s a great production of ‘Cabaret’ that’s good enough to triumph over the myriad distractions it throws in its own path.”

“This revival of John Kander and Fred Ebb’s 1966 musical might as well come with its own distinctive Kit Kat Club drumroll: one of the hottest – and more expensive – tickets of the year, its high concept staging extends across the venue, turning the foyers and the facade into the Weimar-era Berlin cabaret club in which its drama is set."

5/5

"Scutt's costumes are a riot of soft colour and texture, and Julia Cheng's extraordinarily detailed choreography creates a tawdry, sexualised world, where everyone gets to express themselves and no-one is quite what they seem. By the close of a devastating night in the theatre, that image has been replaced with beige uniformity and straight lines of movement. The Nazis rise to power, documented in Joe Masteroff's book in which the Emcee becomes a symbol of the soul of Germany, is shown not through familiar images of black and red – though one swastika armband does make a shocking impression – but by colour literally seeping out of the world."

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Experience
ELEONORA IACCARINO
The theater very much suited to the type of show. Truly spectacular cast not only the two leads but also the various supporting actors. Only drawback the air conditioning maybe a little too cold. But overall all very very satisfactory

The Devil Wears Prada

Experience
Irene Irene
Love the whole experience. Although at first we are unable to buy online (probably bec we are fr Indonesia and our connection at UK sometimes was weak) but we finally managed to get the tickets. We are super excited bec this is our first time to attend a musical in London which is a must from what I heard. And we indeed made a perfect choice. The Devil Wears Prada was amazing from the choreographer, the cast, the costumes, the set and of course the musics👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The production was the best one I've ever seen in my life. I love Theatre and Cinema (I work in cinema industry) and I was amazed by the scenographic artistry and the perfect vocals. I loved the love you feel by entering the theatre, the bar was so cute and the assistance crew was polite. Thank you for this spectacular experience♥️ I'll never forget it.
