The Cabaret at Theater Square
Home to fantastic musical productions, late-night entertainment, live music, and outstanding food, the Cabaret at Theater Square is the Cultural District’s newest performance venue providing unique live music and theatrical performances year-round.
I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change Everything you’ve secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws but were afraid to admit! This modern musical comedy is a whirlwind tour of the trials and triumphs of life and love set to a hilarious score that includes “He Called Me,” “Cantata for a First Date,” “Always a Bridesmaid” and “Why? ‘Cause I’m a Guy.” You’ll relate to why men and women have always needed each other for mysterious reasons beyond sexual attraction. The battle of the sexes has never been so much fun!
The Cabaret Menu features delicious appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks for a complete cabaret experience. Shear Madness ticket holders may simply arrive up to 90 minutes before curtain to enjoy food & beverage service inside the theater. No additional reservations are needed, and service is available before the show as well as during intermission. Late Night patrons enjoy service the whole night through.
Theater Square is located at 655 Penn Avenue, between the O’Reilly Theater and Katz Plaza. You can also conveniently park in the Theater Square Garage to make your visit a breeze.
