Alistair McGowan, Amy Nuttall, Angela Richards and Barry James star in the Olivier Award-winning production of Cabaret. Rufus Norris' critically acclaimed revival Cabaret is now playing at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, and is celebrating its second decadent year in the West End.

Kander and Ebb's landmark musical turns Weimar Berlin of 1931 into a dark and sexually charged haven of decadence, its extraordinary and morally ambiguous inhabitants determined to keep up appearances as the real world - outside the comfortable sanctuary of the cabaret -prepares for the nightmarish chaos of war.

For the week of 17 March only, the role of MC will be played by Chris Akrill.

* Please note that this show is suitable for children aged 14 and over.

"The most stunningly fresh and imaginative revival of a classic musical that I have ever seen. A musical masterpiece rediscovered in a masterpiece of a production" - The Independent
