Due to overwhelming popular demand, the theatrical spectacle Sabrage is making its triumphant return to Lafayette, the vibrant London venue. Following a massively successful debut run earlier this year, the show—a unique blend of circus, cabaret, and theatre—will open for previews on August 13th and run through January 4, 2026.
Produced by the Menier Chocolate Factory and Strut & Fret, Sabrage is directed by the award-winning innovator Scott Maidment. The original cast will be returning, featuring a collection of international circus elites and theatrical misfits, including Kimberley Bargenquast, Flynn Miller, Skye Ladell, and Spencer Novich, among others.
The show takes its name from the ceremonial practice of opening a champagne bottle with a saber, a fitting metaphor for an extravagant evening of razor-sharp humor, world-class acrobatics, and seductive spectacle. Lafayette, typically known for hosting rising musical acts like Charli XCX and Beck, will once again be transformed to provide an intimate and decadent backdrop for the performance.
Beyond the stage, Sabrage promises a full entertainment experience. Audiences are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy curated cocktails and Southern-style bites before the show, and to stay late to dance to a live DJ. For those seeking an even more exclusive experience, a VIP option offers access to Nola's hidden speakeasy.
With its blend of high-flying circus acts, opulent design, and a cheeky theatrical edge, Sabrage is set to become one of London’s most sought-after live entertainment experiences this season.
Tickets are now on sale through the global live entertainment platform, Fever.
