With its iconic songs and dance moves, musical Cabaret arrives in Chester next week as part of its 2019 UK tour.

Alan Paul directs and demonstrates the power of live theater.

Keeping us gasping is what Cabaret in all of its incarnations has always been about. Gasping at the opulence, gasping at the decadence, gasping at the heedlessness and the horror. It is intentionally strong stuff, and if it delivers, then it succeeds. And by that yardstick, this version, whatever it may or may not owe to its predecessors, is a smashing success.
