Very nice atmosphere and acoustics, good view even in the last row, as the theater is very small. Due to the round, rotating and occasionally rising stage, we found it even more impressive to watch from above.
The story, performance and singing, in combination with the costumes, were great and easy to understand, even if you don't speak fluent English.
The pre-show starts an hour before the actual musical, so get there early. Embankment subway station is just around the corner, so you can still get connections for the later performance from 7.30pm. However, you then have to go directly to the subway.
Unfortunately, the only food on offer is far too expensive, small, cold snack boxes (olives, cheese, crackers, dip and either small veggie falafel balls or slices of salami and ham). If you then book extra expensive tickets with a table, it's your own fault. Drinks from the bar can be taken anywhere.

What the critics think
Cabaret is still an amazing experience, a world fiddling while Rome prepares to burn: gloomily sexy, elegant, with an overwhelming sense of evil.

The brilliant makeover of the theatre into the KitKat club, with the pre-show entertainment, the amazing versatility of the actors in singing, athletic dancing and acting; the cabaret tables to eat & drink at during the show. Impressively good German pronunciation and convincing German mannerisms and body language on the part of the main actors (especially Fräulein S. and Herr S.) as well as the lady singing "Heirat" in German who was so convincing I wonder if the actress may actually be German.

Booking my ticket was straight forward, available seats clearly shown and booking my chosen seat was so easy. Information of my booking was available straight away. From arriving outside at the venue, to entering, experiencing the venue once inside and the performance was all excellent. The whole thing was spot on.

My experience with Headout was quick, easy and efficient! We were able to get great seats to an almost sold out show! I'm so glad we booked before leaving the States. Trying to get the tickets after arriving in London might not have been successful.

The important update for attendees is follow the instructions on the ticket s to arrive the hour early and be part of the full experience. The whole experience and the main stage show were really good and I would go again I enjoyed it so much. Well worth going and the floor seats are a real bonus and worthwhile. No photography aallow and the camera are covered with a sticker and policed by staff
