What is “House of Cabaret”?
This 60-minute show reimagines the classic Dracula mythos as a theatrical and immersive cabaret experience, blending timeless horror and iconography with popular music, humor and sensuality. On selected dates over the coming months, talented actors and performers are set to tell Dracula’s story under the mysterious glow of the full moon at Roulette.
Cabaret, its story and the show
Cabaret started in late 19th-century Paris, blending music, satire, provocative dance and spoken word in bohemian cafés and café-chantantes. By the 20th century, it turned into a platform for avant-garde performance and political commentary, becoming a voice for the rebellious and the revolutionary, with artists like Josephine Baker, Édith Piaf and Gypsy Rose Lee as crown jewels of the artform.
Over time, cabaret fused with jazz, burlesque and boylesque, drag and circus acts, shaping both underground movements and pop culture alike. At “House of Cabaret”, you’ll experience just that—a mix of weird, wild and wonderfully wicked performances evoking sensuality and terror.
“House of Cabaret” dares to be different, bringing a unique cabaret show to NYC. Prepare to be dazzled by enchanting performances that will leave you breathless and maybe just a little thirsty!
Each evening, there will one performance scheduled for 7pm. Tickets are sold in categories and seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
