Cabaret – Reviews

“In a word, stunning. Matu Ngaropo's performance as the Emcee is mind-blowing. Nomi Cohen is a goddess! With its gorgeous campiness, its overt sexuality, its flawless execution and its unflinching courage in showing humans at their best and worst, this Cabaret is perfection.”

“Auckland Theatre Company's Cabaret is sexy, stylish and spectacular, but beneath all the sparkle sits a warning that feels frighteningly relevant.”

“Kilby-Henson's Cabaret has strength and power, is theatrically engaging, explores multiple values and provides its audience with one of the most satisfying and fascinating shows of 2026. An absorbing and dazzling night of theatre.”

“This Cabaret, with its steaming jazz sextet and energised cast, is faultlessly-staged, superbly sung, danced with louche decadence, and acidified by a relevant, sharp edge of foreboding. ... Come, hear the music play!”

“Mesmerizing from beginning to end. I highly recommend checking out Auckland Theatre Company's production of Cabaret as soon as you can, and while tickets are still available, because I hear it's already a hot ticket.”
