The History of Berlin’s Hotspot
The Cabaret musical premiered in 1966, adapted from John Van Druten's I Am a Camera and inspired by Christopher Isherwood’s 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin. The story draws from Isherwood’s real-life experiences in Weimar-era Berlin and his friendship with a young cabaret singer.
The original Broadway production opened on November 20, 1966, at the Broadhurst Theatre and ran for 1,166 performances. Since then, Cabaret the Musical has seen numerous revivals in London and New York, as well as the Oscar-winning 1972 film starring Liza Minnelli.
Cabaret London made its West End debut on February 28, 1968, at the Palace Theatre, with Judi Dench starring as Sally Bowles. The production has returned time and again, with acclaimed revivals in 1986, 1993, 2006, 2012, and now at the Cabaret Kit Kat Club since 2021. Featuring classic numbers like “Wilkommen,” “Don’t Tell Mama,” “Mein Herr,” “Maybe This Time,” “Money,” and of course “Cabaret,” it’s an unmissable night out.
