Cabaret extends into 2027 at the Kit Kat Club in London

Olivier Award-winning West End musical Cabaret has added more dates to its London run, and is now playing into 2027.

The show had been booking to 26 September 2026, and has now extended its dates to 30 January 2027.

Cabaret first opened at the Kit Kat Club (formerly the Playhouse Theatre) in the West End in November 2021, and is now in its fifth year in London.

Quick Take: Extending booking into 2027 is yet another milestone for Rebecca Frecknall’s reinvention of Cabaret. The show has managed to maintain an extremely high calibre of star casting, and with the musical’s fifth birthday coming up at the end of the year, there’s clearly no stopping this show.

Directed by Rebecca Frecknall (A Streetcar Named Desire), The Old Vic’s new associate director, Cabaret scooped a record-breaking seven Olivier Awards, and boasts an iconic score by John Kander (music) and Fred Ebb (lyrcis).
