The Kit Kat Klub NYC: Come for the Cabaret, Stay for the Curious Case of Disappearing Chocolate Bars
Ah, New York City. The Big Apple, the city that never sleeps, and the place where even candy bars can get mixed up in a bit of theatrical intrigue. That's right, folks, we're diving down the rabbit hole (or should we say wafer tunnel?) to understand the curious case of the Kit Kat Klub NYC.
Not Your Average Break Time
Now, before you start picturing Willy Wonka setting up shop in Times Square and showering the city in chocolate rivers (although, wouldn't that be a sight?), let's clear things up. The Kit Kat Klub NYC isn't some Willy Wonka fever dream come true. It's actually the setting for a wildly popular, and apparently quite decadent, Broadway production of the classic musical "Cabaret."
Willkommen, But Where's the Kit Kat?
Intrigued? You should be! This production takes audiences on a wild ride through the underbelly of Berlin in the 1930s, and the Kit Kat Klub serves as the show's beating heart. It's a place of bawdy entertainment, a sanctuary for outsiders, and let's be honest, probably the only place where bowler hats and fishnet stockings are considered everyday wear.
But here's the funny part: the Kit Kat Klub in the show has absolutely nothing to do with the Nestle candy bar we all know and love (unless perhaps they snuck in a few during intermission). The name is purely coincidental, a twist of fate that has probably left more than a few audience members with a serious case of the munchies by the end of the show.
So, Can I Get a Break Here?
Now, you might be wondering, with all this talk of Kit Kats, can you actually snag a chocolate bar at the theater? Well, that depends. The August Wilson Theatre, where "Cabaret" is playing, likely has a concession stand with the usual theater fare (popcorn, overpriced water, maybe some Junior Mints if you're lucky). But for a true Kit Kat experience, you might be better off hitting up a bodega on your way home.
The Mystery Continues...
So, the Kit Kat Klub NYC: a place of dazzling costumes, political satire, and the strange absence of the candy bar that shares its name. Is it a clever marketing ploy by Nestle? A cruel joke by the show's producers? The world may never know. But one thing's for sure: This Kit Kat Klub is definitely worth a visit, if only to experience the weird and wonderful world of Broadway. Just don't go in expecting a free chocolate break.
