Cabaret VIP Lounge

Berlin, 1929 — a city on the brink, a nightclub on fire with life.

As the Jazz Age flickers out and the shadow of the Third Reich creeps in, the Kit Kat Club pulses with defiance. Inside, nothing is off-limits — boys, girls, and everyone in between dance, drink, and dream like there’s no tomorrow. At the centre of it all is cabaret singer Sally Bowles, dazzling and oblivious, until the darkness becomes impossible to ignore.

Cabaret, one of the most iconic musicals of all time and winner of eight Tony Awards, is reborn at ASB Waterfront Theatre in a bold new production featuring a stellar cast of Aotearoa’s finest musical theatre talent. Nomi Cohen (Chicago) steps into the glittering shoes of Sally Bowles, while Matu Ngaropo (Ngāi Tūhoe, Te Rarawa, Ngāti Porou) (The Lion King, Hamilton) commands the stage as the enigmatic Emcee.

Seductive, subversive, and startlingly timely, Cabaret brings the 2026 season to a dazzling close. Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome — the music is about to play.
