The atmosphere is superb and the feel of a club is genuine. Toilets are few in number so be prepared for queues. Drinks and snacks are served efficiently with friendly service all within the them of the Kit Kat Club and Cabaret!

An Unforgettable Experience – Highly Recommended! I am so glad I chose to see Cabaret! The experience starts the moment you walk in—the pre-show welcome is absolutely incredible, with actors delivering amazing musical and theatrical performances all throughout the foyer before the show even begins. As for the main show, it was pure perfection. The acting is phenomenal, creating an atmosphere that completely immerses you and lets you leave the outside world behind. The theater itself is beautiful, elegant, comfortable, and spotless. The 360-degree auditorium is a game-changer—everyone gets a great view, and no seat feels distant or restricted. The staging, direction, and live orchestra were nothing short of breathtaking. The intermission was definitely needed, and I’m glad it was generous because the bathroom lines were extremely long. It seems that nowhere in the world computes that venues need at least three times as many women's stalls as men's! Despite the usual venue logistics, the performance was outstanding. A truly unique and unforgettable show—10/10 recommended!
