The performance of the multi-Olivier Award winning Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club on Thursday 14 July will be held in aid of the Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. 

The authors, John Kander and the Estates of Fred Ebb and Joe Masteroff, the creative team, the producers and the entire company of Cabaret will be donating 100% of ticket sales for this performance to the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal via Work For Good, along with all funds raised during collections at every performance of Cabaret.

The producers said “Cabaret’s story sadly feels as timely and emotionally resonant as it ever did, written two decades after the end of World War Two. We empathise every day with the strength and struggles of the people of Ukraine at this time, and everyone at the Kit Kat Club is honoured to raise funds for the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal – through our gala performance, and the collections occurring nightly during the run.”

Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club stars Fra Fee as Emcee, Amy Lennox as Sally Bowles, Omar Baroud as Cliff Bradshaw, Vivien Parry as Fraulein Schneider, Richard Katz as Herr Shultz, Stewart Clarke as Ernst Ludwig and Anna-Jane Casey as Fraulein Kost.

The cast is completed by Josh Andrews, Gabriela Benedetti, Emily Benjamin, Sally Frith, Matthew Gent, Emma Louise Jones, Ela Lisondra, Theo Maddix, Chris O’Mara, Daniel Perry, Andre Refig, Adam Taylor, Christopher Tendai, Bethany Terry, Lillie-Pearl Wildman and Sophie Maria Wojna.

The Prologue Company is Rachel Benson, Laura Braid, Asmara Cammock, Julian Capolei, Celine Fortenbacher, Reuben Greeph, Samantha Ho, Andrew Linnie, Carys McQueen, Hicaro Nicolai, Kate Robson-Stuart and Sally Swanson.
