The Playhouse theatre/Kit Kat Club

We went to see Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club. The show was phenomenal. The wheelchair space was with a great view. The staff were amazing. There were a few access issues for me as a powerchair user, not everyone would experience. It’s worth going if you can manage those.
