Critics' Take
Critics hail this immersive revival as a stunning theatrical event, with the Playhouse's transformation into the Kit Kat Club earning widespread praise. Frecknall's direction and the production design dazzle, though some find Redmayne miscast as the Emcee.

“It's the party at the end of the world - and it's the show of the year.”

“The whole production is about as good as theatre gets; with every shade of emotion and absolutely no wasted dialogue or scene.”

“Regardless of whoever plays the Emcee and Sally – and next up is the pop duo of Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears and Self Esteem – this production is, and will remain, an absolute knockout.”

“Buckley’s vocal performance is worth the ticket price alone, and when Sally and Cliff (Omari Douglas) come together, there’s some sort of magic happening on that stage.”
