Willkommen. Bienvenue. Welcome to the Kit Kat Club. Home to an intimate and electrifying new production of Cabaret. 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.
"This show is worth seeing for the theater, it’s different and very interesting, kind of makes you feel like you’re visiting a museum. But the choreography was a bit sloppy and the costumes are not that much. The singing was excellent, acting superb. "

Disappointing
"The talent was very good, but the story was hard to follow and did not go into what the Kit Kat club went through with the harassment and incringement by the nazis. I expected to be moved a lot more."

My Visit To The Kit Kat Club
"I've seen several productions of Cabaret and this was my least favorite. Adam Lambert and Bebe Neuwirth were excellent in their roles. I had a difficult time believing the relationship between Cliff and Sally. I also didn't care much for the overall costume aesthetic. I did have a good seat. When I purchased my ticket, I misread the floor plan. Imagine my delightful surprise when I realized I was 5 rows back from the circular stage."

Falls short of greatness. But sells a lot of cocktails.
"The music and dancers are fab, especially the boys. Highly recommending any scene with the great Bebe Neworth and company. Adam Lambert is a vocal genius, but not particularly dangerous or subversive as MofC.
Pre-War Berlin was a time of a culturally volatile artistic underground. But this production chose not to evoke this dramatic period with all of its tragi-comedy grotesqueness. In removing that association, we end up with defanged version of Cabaret that feels more like a 20 something tribal rave than a society on the brink of collapse. The Nazis are deleted in this Cabaret (there is but one scene with a swastika), thus replacing visceral fear and anxiety with a tepid mix of angry ennui. Ultimately, this production lacks sharp edges-a problem further aggravated by Adam Lambert breaking character long enough to scold his New York audience for laughing nervously at the "wrong" part. Wait-what? Does he think we can't handle the nuance of the Anti-Semitic joke? And when did the artists get to dictate the emotional responses of art viewers? Please see the Alan Cummings interpretation for how to handle this difficult and horribly disturbing key moment in the play with relish.
Falls short. But sells a lot of cocktails."

Exotic, Erotic, Epitomic, and Hipnotic!!!!!!!
"Amazing IMMERSIVE experience from the moment you cross through a very well oiled security screening. It's as if you've entered the Kit Kat Club itself back in Berlin. The stage-side dining, although a bit expensive, made this amazing theatrical experience one of true immersion. We were literally side by side with the cast the entire performance, and even had a performer "join us" for a bite. Adam Lambert was everything I expected and more. His range of performance, voice, and change of appearance were nothing short of spectacular. This is truly a must see once in a lifetime event."

Where you sit matters
"The stage is round, so it all depends on where you sit. The emcee especially always faces one side of the audience. He spoke to that side like they were the only ones watching. We were sitting on the opposite side, so we spent 75% of the time staring at the backs of their heads. It felt very one sided, literally, and we didn’t feel a connection to the characters because we rarely saw their faces. Extremely disappointing. "

Expect a different Cabaret
"First off, the scenic design is brilliant.Eddie Redmayne’s performance is also brilliant and memorable; he’s leaving.
The show has always had a dark underbelly. This time, from the decor of the theatre entrance itself, to the pre-show, to the costumes and choreography, everything seemed aimed at being over-the-top shocking and German expressionistic. No subtlety.
The character of Sally Bowles may be a 2nd rate talent and a loser, but her audiences wouldn't come to see her if she seemed that depressed and angry, not to mention out of costume, while performing on stage at the Kit Kat Club. The despair and gloom were meant to be left outside the club, as the Emcee says in his opening song. Here, there is no escape. I’m not sorry I saw it, but I was glad when it was over."
