But you are most welcome to wait outside our stage door (around to the left of the theatre’s exit doors) to meet anyone able to stop by. Please follow all instructions by our security team if you choose to do so, and respect our performers’ wishes throughout. Thank you!
Due to the very high number of people who celebrate a special occasion at CABARET, we regret that we are not able to offer anything on the house. However, you are more than welcome to order refreshments direct to your seat (via www.kitkat.delivery) – which is the perfect way to surprise someone!
