This musical, quite honestly changed my life. It was one of the first soundtracks I memorized and one of the first live Broadway shows I had ever seen. Now a brilliant UK production is picking up the mantel for audiences 20 years later to catch something they may have missed, and in my mind, the timing couldn’t be better.

*Avenue Q* is a musical theatre phenomenon, blending the wholesome energy of children’s television with crude humour that is not exactly child-friendly. With music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, and a book by Jeff Whitty, this production of *Avenue Q* is better than ever.

This twentieth anniversary revival brings the show back with a cast to boast about, including Emily Benjamin, Noah Harrison, Meg Hateley, Oliver Jacobson, Charlie McCullagh, Amelia Kinu Muus, and Dionne Ward-Anderson. It also includes a masterful creative team, including set designer Anna Louizos, costume designer Jean Chan, lighting designer Tim Lutkin, and sound designer Paul Groothuis. 

*Avenue Q* is the kind of musical that knows exactly how to make its audiences laugh while also reminding them that their human experiences of ‘adulting’ are universal. Heartfelt and punchy, this is a night of theatre audiences won’t forget. 

## What to watch for 

- *Avenue Q* is heavily inspired by Sesame Street.
- This show was nominated for an Olivier Award in 2007 for Best New Musical.
- Jason Moore was nominated for the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Director.
- An Australian production of *Avenue Q* opened in 2009.

Don’t miss *Avenue Q*, the three-time Tony Award-winning, outrageously hilarious musical that brings Princeton and his silly neighbours back to the West End for another night of good fun. 


Experience New York’s most vibrant block with *Avenue Q*, the hilariously rude puppet musical returning to the West End at the Shaftesbury Theatre under original Broadway director Jason Moore.

More than two decades after making its mark on the world forever, *Avenue Q* is a play just as irreverent and brilliantly funny as ever. At the center of this story is Princeton, who is a recent graduate trying to figure out where his place is in the world. When he finally lands a shabby apartment on Avenue Q, he finds himself surrounded by an eclectic mix of neighbours, humans and puppets alike. They are all wrestling with the same incredibly messy realities of what it means to be an adult — things like love, work, rent, and finding purpose. 

This new West End production reunites the show with its original Broadway director, Jason Moore, and original puppet designer, Rick Lyon, bringing one of musical theatre’s most beloved modern comedies back to the stage and breathing new life into it. The musical has music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, with the book by Jeff Whitty. 

*Avenue Q* in London stars Emily Benjamin as Kate Monster and Lucy the Slut, Noah Harrison as Princeton and Rod, Meg Hateley as Mrs T and a Bad Idea Bear, Oliver Jacobson as Brian, Charlie McCullagh as Nicky, Trekkie Monster and a Bad Idea Bear, Amelia Kinu Muus as Christmas Eve, and Dionne Ward-Anderson as Gary Coleman.

Together, they are joined by a wonderful creative team including set design by Anna Louizos, costume design by Jean Chan, lighting design by Tim Lutkin, and sound design by Paul Groothuis. 

Sincere and gleefully funny, *Avenue Q* is back and better than ever. It promises to be a night out that families will not forget.

The Shaftesbury Theatre opened as the Princes Theatre on 26 Dec. 1911. The theatre changed its name to the Shaftesbury Theatre in 1962, reopening with the Broadway musical *How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying* which became the theatre’s first long-running musical. 

The musical *Hair* opened in September 1968 when the ban on theatre censorship was lifted, and went on to a run of just under 2000 performances. The show and theatre were forced to close when parts of the ceiling fell in on 20 Jul. 1973. 

Reopening in 1974, the Shaftesbury's housed a line of musical productions, starting with *West Side Story*, *Rent* and *Hairspray.*

## Shaftesbury Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has three levels – the Stalls, Royal Circle and Grand Circle.

The Stalls seats are on a very shallow rake which means that sightlines can be problematic

In the Royal Circle, the seats are gently raked which might impact on the sightlines depending on certain productions.

The Grand Circle does feel far away from the stage, but the central seats do offer good views of the stage.

Shaftesbury Theatre - London Theatre

Opened in 1911 as the Princes Theatre, it became Shaftesbury Theatre in 1962. Famous for long-running musicals, it has three seating levels with varying sightlines.

## What to Watch For:

- For *Cabaret* in London, the Playhouse Theatre will be renovated into an in-the-round auditorium. Audience members will be able to sit at tables to evoke a club setting, rather than a traditional proscenium arch theatre. As a result, the seating capacity at the Playhouse Theatre has been reduced to accommodate 550 patrons per performance. 

- The *Cabaret* musical was first staged in 1966 featuring Joel Grey as the Emcee. However Cabaret became a popular twentieth-century musical thanks to the 1972 Cabaret movie starring Liza Minnelli as Sally Bowles.

Life is a cabaret, old chum! Don't miss this revival of a Kander and Ebb classic, and be immersed into the Kit Kat Club with the incredible transformation of the Playhouse Theatre. Leave all your troubles at the door and see this seven-time Olivier Award-winning production of *Cabaret* in London's West End.

Willkommen. Bienvenue. Welcome to the Kit Kat Club. The Playhouse Theatre is newly transformed, so get ready to step into a theatrical paradise. *Cabaret* tickets are available on London Theatre now.

Set in early 1930s Berlin, American writer Cliff Bradshaw meets English cabaret singer Sally Bowles, a performer at the Kit Kat Club. But the rise of Nazism threatens this hedonistic Weimar Republic haven. 

*Cabaret*’s enduring success is partly down to Kander and Ebb’s indelible score, with songs like “Wilkommen,” “Don’t Tell Mama,” “Meir Herr,” “Money,” and, or course, the great torch song “Maybe This Time.” This production offers an exciting chance to discover, or revisit, Kander and Ebb’s still hugely resonant musical. 

The Cabaret London musical won seven Olivier Awards, with original cast members Eddie Redmayne, Jessie Buckley, Liza Sadovy, and Elliot Levey. The show features luxury casting, as well as a transformed theatre to provide optimum watching for one of the most-known musicals of all time. Rebecca Frecknall directs, with Tom Scutt providing set and costume design, and choreography by Julia Cheng.

The celebrated *Cabaret* musical opened on Broadway in November 1966, directed by Harold Prince, and has been a hit on both stage and screen, with Bob Fosse’s film version, starring Liza Minnelli, winning eight Oscars. 

Dame Judi Dench led the original West End version, and, in 1993, Sam Mendes’s Donmar Warehouse production, starring Jane Horrocks and Alan Cumming, was greatly acclaimed. Cumming returned for the 2014 Broadway revival, which starred first Michelle Williams, then Emma Stone, and finally Sienna Miller. 

### Who wrote the Cabaret musical?

Cabaret is based on Christopher Isherwood’s short stories in Goodbye to Berlin, and John Van Druten’s play, *I Am a Camera*. Harold Prince led the Cabaret musical creation, teaming up with Joe Masteroff, John Kander and Fred Ebb to bring the stories to life. Find out more about Cabaret in London.

### Where is *Cabaret* playing?

This new *Cabaret* West End production plays at the Kit Kat Club. It promises a very special audience experience. The theatre is reconfigured to seat viewers in the round, creating more intimacy and immersing audiences in the action — there's a limited seating capacity of 550. 

Tickets to *Cabaret* are available now. Book your *Cabaret* tickets on London Theatre today.

We have no troubles here. In here, life is beautiful.The<a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/kit-kat-club"> Kit Kat Club</a> is the ultimate escape. After a difficult or even ordinary day, the fanfare, glitz, and glamour feel like a portal to another time, where you'll be greeted with complimentary schnapps, dancing chorus members, and a lascivious pre-show smorgasbord.&nbsp;From the gilded lobby, disco-lit basement, and everywhere in between, the space creates an all-encompassing atmosphere, right down to the aptly named cabaret tables, a design element director Sam Mendes also used in his 1993 production at the Donmar and later&nbsp;on Broadway, where it was revived in 2014.&nbsp;However, here, director Rebecca Frecknall levels up the concept, and maybe this time, the stakes are a little higher and a little more intense. Coupled with Tom Scutt's immersive design and Isabella Byrd's atmospheric lighting, this production feels like a world away from outside.&nbsp;Or does it really? The headlines feel eerily similar today as when Joe Masteroff, John Kander, and Fred Ebb wrote their iconic musical about an American writer and a struggling nightclub performer in 1920s Berlin, who find themselves torn between a struggle to survive in love and life amid the rising glare of Nazism. There are, in fact, many troubles here.&nbsp;And Frecknall doesn't pull any punches with her high-concept approach, which takes a cue from Christopher Isherwood's Goodbye to Berlin and John van Druten's 1951 play, on which the show is based. The approaching horror and absurdism of this escape is at the forefront, and her highly choreographed tableau feels like a ballet or a marionette show, where someone calculating is pulling all the strings.&nbsp;At the center of this circus stands the Emcee, played here with impish wackiness by Eddie Redmayne. Redmayne slithers around the stage, contorting his being every which way to almost distracting effect. Redmayne is not a commanding showman, as is a tempting take for the Emcee, but instead he uses gesture and sensuality to make the audience lean in. As the musical gets progressively darker, Redmayne's Emcee becomes more and more absurd, almost half American Horror Story: Freakshow and half Martha Graham dancer, and his final iteration is the most horrific.&nbsp;In contrast to Redmayne, Jessie Buckley is all bravado and belt. Her Sally Bowles is the ultimate starlet, taking a note or three from Liza Minelli's iconic film performance in the role, and she dominates the stage with effortless charisma and appeal. She's irresistible. Even in the quieter, heartbreaking moments, she conveys an emotional depth and density, and she nails the 11 o'clock title song. (While many may argue that Sally Bowles as a character is not supposed to be a good singer, neither this production nor Buckley respect that take.)This production highlights the ensemble nature of the show, featuring a chorus of extremely talented dancers, seemingly inventing new ways to move with Julia Cheng's choreography, and the supporting cast offers a deep emotional contrast to the more showy club scenes.&nbsp;As Fraulein Scheider and Herr Schultz, Liza Sadovy and Elliot Levey hold the beating heart of the piece and shatter it into pieces. Anna-Jane Casey stands out as Fraulein Kost, and Omari Douglas does his best naive fish-out-of-water as American writer Clifford Bradshaw.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/23939-cabaret">Cabaret</a> feels like a story we need and also don't need right now. On the one hand, it's a glorious ode to escapism and forgetting the troubles that bind us. But some of the "troubles" we're going through right now aren't that far off from Jazz Age Berlin, with abortion legislation under fire in the United States and government oversight of Covid-19 brewing further division.&nbsp;And Frecknall's searing, haunting final stage portrait seems to imply that escapism only lasts so long. Sooner or later, if we don't face our troubles, our troubles will find us. After all, life isn't really a cabaret, old chum.<a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/23939-cabaret">Cabaret is playing at the Kit Kat Club.

'Cabaret' at the Kit Kat Club review — Come to the cabaret with Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley

Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley in Cabaret (Photo by Marc Brenner)

The Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse Theatre is an iconic venue rooted deep in London's cultural heart. Immortalized by the legendary play 'Cabaret', this famous locale comes alive every night, brimming with elegance, sophistication, and a richly provoking ambiance. The Satine interior design is steeped in history, featuring rich, dark reds and a stunning crystal chandelier. Parquet floors and large French windows looking out over the busy London streets further imbue the Kit Kat Club with an irresistible allure. Here, the sounds of decadence echo long into the night, as theatre fanatics, tourists, and curious wanderers seek solace in its welcoming atmosphere.

### Getting to the Venue
