THE LEGENDARY MUSICAL
Cabaret - the show that changed musical theatre forever. Set in pre World War II Berlin, it’s a serious tale of decadence, self-discovery and romance, set against the rise of fascism.
The recent London production, starring Jessie Buckley and Eddie Redmayne, won 7 Olivier awards. With songs like Willkommen, Money Money, Tomorrow Belongs to Me and the eponymous Cabaret, its score is packed with memorable numbers and witty, satirical lyrics.
QETC's production of CABARET marked our 20th anniversary. See below for the great reviews this show received. With nightly standing ovations it is also our best selling show to date!

Cabaret features extraordinary characters, like Sally Bowles and documents the period of German political unrest that led to the holocaust. In these times of Putin and populism, it retains every shred of its relevance. Featuring a live band, QETC’s production was the pinnacle of their 20th anniversary year.
Suitable Age 14+
This production took its inspiration very much from the original Berlin books by Christopher Isherwood. As a young gay writer, invited there by literati such as Auden and Spender, he finally found the sexual liberation he was denied in Great Britain.
