Kara Lily Hayworth stars as the iconic Sally Bowles following her performance in the title role of Cilla The Musical which was revered by both critics and audiences alike. They are joined by Anita Harris, who first rose to fame as a singer in the 1960s and has appeared both on screen (Follow That Camel and Carry on Doctor) and on stage, most notably as Grizabella in the West End’s Cats.

The musical is set in 1931 when Berlin is a haven of divine decadence and the legendary Sally Bowles is about to take stage at the infamous Kit Kat Klub.

Cabaret features Olivier Award-winning choreography by Javier De Frutos, dazzling costumes and iconic songs, including Money Makes the World Go Round, Maybe This Time and Cabaret.
