Eddie Redmayne Excels as the Emcee in a Boozy Broadway ‘Cabaret’

The producers of the new Broadway production of John Kander and Fred Ebb’s sharp, dark wonderland of a musical Cabaret (August Wilson Theatre) appear certain that audiences will lap up the sumptuously immersive production they have created. Tickets are currently listed for sale through March 29, 2025. The critically acclaimed West End production from whence it spawned is still going strong in London.

The seduction begins outside on the street; the marquee of the venue announces the takeover (“Kit Kat Club at the August Wilson Theatre”), and as soon as you enter—obscuring sticker placed over your phone camera, which, let’s face it, isn’t as prohibitive to snapping away as a lockable pouch—you enter a fully realized Kit Kat world.

The theater has been (surely extremely expensively) retrofitted in its main areas into a club-meets-bar. Special cocktails and food are available; there are—as you will find on the website—further fancy drinks and food deals. For those with deep enough pockets, this is intended not just as a night out at the theater, but a full-on night out, with the producers determined you part with far more dollars than would cover a packet of Twizzlers or a gin and tonic.
