Firstly - the show itself is outstanding - a 5/5 star event and something that I would return to watch tomorrow!
The rest of the experience is so unbelievably lacking in any sort of organisation, vibrancy, and comfort it means that, if you do end up going, there is a very specific way to go about it.
Don’t book the table seats. For anywhere up to £335 a ticket you are crammed into a tiny space and have a few massively overpriced (even for London) food and drink options available to you, all of which will leave you disappointed at best, angry at worst. We had a few slices of cured meats and cheeses with crackers served in a cardboard box for £20. Extremely underwhelming.
Be prepared to have to go and physically find someone that will get you a drink, while one of their colleagues stands there for the entire 3 hours holding a programme. Service, while pleasant when present, was a shambles.
Don’t bring a coat / jacket. Despite being advertised as having a cloakroom it only has about a dozen hangers and so, unless you are one of the first people in the door for the evening, it gets full up pretty quickly. Honestly, I don’t know what the point of having a cloakroom was in this case.
Be prepared to be crammed into to a tight space as you enter (and then, as previously mentioned, when you sit down). As far as I saw there were 3 separate areas, each with its own bar, but as you are not guided to ‘your section’ (i.e. the bar closest to your seat) everyone converges at the first one they see upon entry, which makes everything both extremely tight and chaotic.
In short, the operations / management / organisational side of this venue is lacking any sort of cohesion and makes most of the experience much much harder to enjoy.
Now…. if you do still want to go and see the show then I would suggest booking at the front of the dress circle, ensuring you choose one of the many other establishments in the area for food & drink beforehand, potentially enhancing your evenings’ experience and ensuring you don’t spend any other money within the Kit Kat Club, your...
Read moreThe show was incredible but our night was ruined by the worst service and organization ever witnessed. When we arrived there were cocktails menus on our tables so we thought we could order some, there was no indication whatsoever that we could not order them (it was not highly visible on the email sent with the tickets as well). We were in the booths, payed extremely high prices for those tickets and the waiters were right in front of us. The QR code they gave us to order were also not working. We deduced ourselves that we were not supposed to order cocktails as the team of 10 waiters right in front of us JUST IGNORED the whole stalls calling for them !!! They preferred to ridiculously ignore the people calling on them instead of explaining that we were not supposed to order with them ! This was incredibly rude and completely ruined the mood. When one finally talked to me he looked at me like I was bothering him and said he would come back, which he never did, instead of explaining me anything. We paid more than 800 pounds for those tickets and not only can we not order cocktails but the waiters ignore us instead of explaining us the situation ?! This is inacceptable. For the prices we paid, not only this service was awful but the whole organization was. When we arrived downstairs there are no indications and no one to guide you towards your seat. When you’re seated downstairs in the booth, half the seats are inaccessible without literally walking all over someone else. All the waiters and staff were not welcoming and not helpful. I’d also like to add that with this price, I would like to be able to take a picture of the empty scene before the show starts. Nothing there requires this stupid paper they put on your camera, it’s also set a very bad vibe from the start. I would not recommend going to anyone, you can hardly enjoy the performance you paid some much for when your night is ruined by everything around it going...
Read more⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Orville Peck was absolutely incredible!”
I went to see Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club not really knowing what to expect, other than I’m a fan of Orville Peck and thought it would be fun to see him on Broadway. Let me just say—he blew me away.
From the moment he walked on stage as the Emcee, you could tell this was something special. He wasn’t wearing his usual mask (which I wondered about going in), but honestly, it made the performance feel even more personal. He was wild, raw, funny, and sometimes a little scary—in the best way. His voice was so strong and unique, and he really gave it his all.
The show itself is super immersive. The whole theater is transformed into this underground Berlin nightclub and you feel like you’re really there. We had seats close to the stage and Orville literally walked right by us a few times. It felt like we were part of the show.
One moment that really stuck with me was when he performed “Tomorrow Belongs to Me.” It started soft and haunting and ended in this intense, almost chilling way. The whole room was silent. You could feel the tension in the air.
Also—Eva Noblezada as Sally Bowles? She’s unreal. Her voice, her acting—she nailed it. Together, they were magic.
Overall, the show was emotional, sexy, dark, and powerful. And Orville? He was made for this role. If you’re a fan of his music, or even just curious, go see this show. It’s unlike anything else on...
