Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse Theatre London

Reviews

1. Holly Wadsworth-Hill (Picture-This Books) ★★★★★

   The most incredible show I have ever seen. I took my Grandfather here as an 80th birthday treat as he has always wanted to see it. We sat in row G of the stalls and had a little shelf for our drinks and plenty of leg room. All staff were friendly and helpful and the performance itself was mesmerising. Drinks and snacks standard prices for London theatres, toilets nice and clean. Super easy to get to this venue as just a two minute walk from Embankment station. Once inside the theatre, staff place stickers over the cameras of everyone's phones so that no pics can be taken at all once inside the theatre. It was so nice to see people absorbed in a show without taking photos and videos all the time - myself included! The Kit Kat Club vibe is instant from the second you enter - a free shot on arrival, dark and atmospheric, dances and performers all around. Electric!

   I went in blindly, booking a last minute ticket and only trusting my friend's suggestion to go. The show was incredible, the cast did an amazing job and it's overall so immersive and deeply reflective. Especially with how the world is today, I would absolutely recommend this show! As you enter they tape your camera so there are no pictures, but there are performers at the bar and as you enter, with music playing non-stop and just an incredible atmosphere!

   amazing experience getting to see Cabaret. I love that they won't allow any PHOTOS/cameras into the theater. we did the VIP experience and it was a ton of fun and really enjoyable location to sit. my 13 yr old son and I loved the show so much we can't wait to come back.

   Amazing performance, my first time seeing a show on the west end and it didn’t disappoint! I saw a lot of reviews saying negative things about the bathrooms but they warn you as you’re queuing outside if you haven’t been go before the show. So it didn’t bother me at all. I wish we could take photos but it was incredible

   On a recent trip to London, my partner and I treated ourselves to a night at the theatre for Christmas. The production of Cabaret was spectacular. The theatre and stage setup is absolutely incredible, and the cast was fabulous. The whole experience is well worth a visit to the Kit Kat Club.

   Beautiful theatre. Staff helpful. Cabaret show was divine and energetic with laughter and sadness in equal measures. Bar and toilet queue (female) during interlude were awful. No photo policy even in public areas which is a shame. Theatre seating not good for you if you are larger sized.

   Excellent acting and staging! The singing was ok, it wasn't as good as other shows I've seen - however I appreciate the energy and emotion in the performance! The venue is beautiful, brings you back to 1920s ...you are in the era as soon as you arrive in the theatre. Pictures are not allowed anywhere in, they put a sticker on your camera at the entry.

   A recent trip to London found us at the Kit Kat Club Theatre to see the most amazing production of Cabaret. We have seen Cabaret before at other Theatres which has always been a great experience however, The Kit Kat Club is quite something else. This theatre is set in the heart of London on Northumberland Avenue and about 1 minutes walk from Trafalgar Square. Cabaret is a fantastic show and one that oozes atmosphere but to maximise the enjoyment and experience of the audience it requires a rather special environment. Once inside the Kit Kat you quickly sense the most enchanting, intriguing and atmospheric environment and one very suited to the style of this show. This show and this theatre were made for each other. Set out over several floors you will find fantastic and well kept architecture and different themed bars on each floor as well. Once inside the actual theatre area you will find a central circular stage with close up cabaret style table seating where you can dine whilst watching the show along with other typical stall and circle seating. The capacity is circa 600 seats and I don’t think anyone seat has a bad view of the stage due to its small capacity. Naturally the seats close to the stage are most intimate as not only are you close to the action but the show also interacts at times with the audience which is fantastic to experience. This is a fantastic and unique theatre and one to go and experience. The 360 degree stage is quite special rather than the typical linear stage found at most other theatres. The staff both inside and out also deserve a special mention as they were all excellent, genuinely friendly and helpful. Cabaret is a stunning show and The Kit Kat Club is the best place to go and see it. Get your tickets booked today if you want the most memorable experience. Photos of the inside are limited and certainly do not do this place justice. The theatre has restrictions on photos and even place stickers over your phone camera lenses but I managed to ‘sneak’ a few just for this review.

   Love this theatre! Fantastic opulent ambience with lots of gilded ornate decor. I really love the bar with the gold lava-esque decoration. The seats are comfortable but limited leg room, and there are good sightlines from the upper circle in this intimate theatre. A certain level of fitness and mobility needed to access the upper circle - lots of stairs (no lift).
