Downstairs at the Kit Kat Club we meet the cast of Cabaret.

Sex Education’s Aimee Lou Wood takes on the iconic role of Sally Bowles, and John McCrea, plays the Emcee.

John previously had a hugely successful run as Jamie New in Everybody's Talking About Jamie.

Recorded at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London, currently home to A Little Life, we review Ain’t Too Proud - The Life and Times of The Temptations, which is now on at the Prince Edward Theatre.

We discuss the new revival of Dancing at Lughnasa at the National Theatre, directed by Josie Rourke. The play stars Justine Mitchell, Derry Girls’ Siobhán McSweeney and Alison Oliver.

Plus, what’s been happening in the West End this week? We discuss Jodie Comer on Broadway in Prima Facie and A Streetcar Named Desire releasing cheaper tickets - for a selected number of seats.
