The show charts the friendship between Sally, an American performer at the riotous Kit Kat, and a shy Brit, Brian. It is set against the rise of the Nazis in 1930s Berlin and unflinchingly depicts antisemitism and persecution. Frecknall said it was an important musical and that its revival comes “at a time when its themes and atmosphere feel so contemporary and resonant”.
Tickets ARE NOW ON GENERAL SALE with the show booking until Saturday 28 September 2024.
