Fabulous show. Right from when we arrived at the theatre the experience was immersive and captivating. Bars were good. Great seats with plenty of legroom (stalls) with a clear view of the stage. …Full review by FabulousFabandCo
I'm going to London with my 80yr old mother in about a month and would like to splurge and book Cabaret dinner seats. Would you say there is a better location within stage-side seating? Maybe close to the bathrooms? Thanks in advance!

Hi Chris. The actual theatres stage is in middle of area so wherever you sit the view is good. We didn’t have dinner there as we ate beforehand. I think toilets are accessible although I didn’t use them but be warned the entrance is on the side and dark as if you’re going into a nightclub. Enjoy
Hey, do you need to speak/understand english for the show ?
A:
Think you would enjoy it just as much the story is quite self explanatory and visual. The atmosphere is just like being in a nightclub and very well done.
We have booked to see Cabaret on 13th July. Our entry time is 6.45. We are invited to have drinks and dinner at the venue. If we are not at a dining table is there any way we can eat at the venue before the show?
A:
I'd very strongly advise eating elsewhere before or post performance. The Playhouse food is piss poor and revoltingly overpriced.
