Welcome to the multi award-winning hit West End production of Cabaret!

The “sensational” double Olivier Award Winner and Variety Club Awards Best Musical turns Weimar Berlin of 1931 into a divine haven of decadence, its extraordinary and morally ambiguous inhabitants determined to keep up appearances as the real world – outside the comfortable sanctuary of the cabaret – prepares for the nightmarish chaos of war.

And at its heart is the legendary Sally Bowles who performs nightly at the infamous Kit Kat Klub in “A shimmering masterpiece of a show guaranteed night after night! It’s divine decadence darling!”

Since its Broadway premiere in 1966 and the famous movie version, with Liza Minnelli, Michael York and Joel Grey, Cabaret has won a staggering number of stage and screen awards including eight Oscars, seven BAFTAs and 13 Tonys.

Samantha Barks, the hugely popular finalist from the hit BBC series ‘I’d Do Anything’, stars as Sally Bowles. She joins world renowned dancer and TV favourite Wayne Sleep, who reprises his role as the notorious Emcee.

www.mrtoybox.co.uk from Wakefield

Marlene from Cornwall

Have booked to see "Cabaret" in Truro on Nov 22nd. Looking forward to it very much. Can you please tell me who will be cast in the part of Sally? Will it be "I'd Do Anything" finest contestant, Jessie Buckley? Or is that just a rumour? Look forward to hearing from you.

The REP from Birmingham

Hi Marlene Thanks for your message. The only casting which is confirmed so far is Wayne Sleep in the part of Emcee. As soon as we have more confirmed it will appear in the 'Cast' tab on this page. Best wishes Steph Falkiner

sian from powys

can you tell me what time the pre show talk starts on sept 10th, as we need to book transport. thanks sian

The REP from Birmingham

Hi Sian The pre show talk will begin at 6.30pm - we look forward to seeing you there. Kind regards Steph Falkiner

IAN from TAMWORTH

ON MY TICKETS IT SAYS THERE IS AN AFTERDARK DISCUSSION. WHATS THAT ALL ABOUT.

The REP from Birmingham

Hi Ian An After Dark is a post-show discussion in the auditorium, giving you the audience an opportunity to talk to members of the cast. The discussions are hosted by a member of our Learning and Participation team. It is a completely free event and open to all. Kind Regards Vicky

Donna

Is a pre show talk the same as an after dark one but before the show?!

The REP from Birmingham

Hello Scott, A full cast list for Cabaret can be found under the 'The Company' tab on this page. Hope this helps Regards Paul J Reece

The REP from Birmingham

To answer Donna's question, A Spotlight is a pre-show discussion that offers an insight into the process of creating a production from directors, writers and designers whereas an After Dark gives you the opportunity to speak to members of the cast straight after the show you’ve just seen. Both are great ways to enrich your experience - I’d highly recommend either. Regards Paul J Reece

Charlotte from Birmingham

I'm really excited about seeing Cabaret. I'm going on Friday 5th September. I watched I'd do anything and was a Jessie fan! But I really liked Sam aswell and seeing as it's a little too far to travel down to London to see something in the West End, this is a perfect opportunity to see a show I'm sure will be absolutely fantastic and one that I don't have much knowledge on which is great because I can go and enjoy watching it. I'm counting down the days now!
