Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse Theatre London – Cabaret Seating Guide & Best Tickets

Expert Recommendations for Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club

Experience the immersive world of Cabaret at London's transformed Playhouse Theatre, now reborn as the Kit Kat Club. This detailed seating guide helps you choose between Dress Circle, Front Stalls, and premium options with real view considerations and pricing insights.

Best Value Tickets (Price/View Balance)

• Dress Circle Row L ($125): Excellent elevated view of the entire stage with good sightlines to the central performance area. Best for budget-conscious viewers who still want the full Kit Kat Club atmosphere.
• These seats offer surprising intimacy given their mid-tier price point—you'll see all choreography clearly without straining.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• Dress Circle Row K ($207): Just one row closer than our 'Best Value' pick, these seats provide marginally better engagement with facial expressions while maintaining the same panoramic view.
• The price jump from Row L to K is significant—only choose if you value slight proximity over budget considerations.

View Comparison: Dress Circle Rows

• Row K vs L: While both rows offer similar angles, Row K seats are approximately 3 feet closer to the stage railing. The difference is most noticeable during intimate solo performances.
• Both rows avoid any obstructions from the theatre's famous hanging decor elements.

Premium Considerations

• For true immersion, consider splurging on Front Stalls seats where performers occasionally interact directly with the audience.
• The Kit Kat Club's unique in-the-round staging means even premium seats may have some performer back-turning—this is intentional and part of the experience.

Last-Minute Strategy

• Dress Circle tickets (especially Rows J-M) often have last-minute availability as they're less sought-after than floor seats.
• Check for weekday performances where you might find Row K prices dipping closer to Row L levels.

Our Final Recommendation

For most visitors, Dress Circle Row L at $125 delivers the quintessential Kit Kat Club experience at the best value. The $82 savings over Row K can be better spent on the venue's excellent pre-show dining package. Only upgrade to Row K if you're particularly sensitive to viewing distances in theatrical productions.

Seating Tips

• Arrive early to explore the transformed theatre space—the experience begins before the show.
• Central seats in either row provide the most balanced view of all performance areas.
• Avoid far side seats if you dislike occasionally viewing performances at sharp angles.
