This Episode's You'll Have to Check It Out Segment - Cabaret

Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club in New York City is a lively, must-see show. The dancing, singing, and story are all phenomenal.

We recommend splurging for table seats, the experience is worth it. If you're gonna do that, the TKTS booth is your best bet.

For all other tickets, we typically recommend TodayTix or Vivid Seats. See our guide for getting cheap Broadway tickets here.
