Unlike a play or musical, cabaret is defined by its atmosphere rather than its staging. Performances are generally held in a casual setting with a small audience—often a dinner club or a nightclub where patrons sit at tables. This allows the performer to engage with their audience. British performer and acting teacher Samuel Morgan-Grahame told StageMilk, “The best advice I was ever given is: The audience wants to have a connection with the performer or song on a personal level. It’s less about, ‘Here’s a song I like,’ and much more about what this song has meant to you, how it has shaped you, how you have shaped it.”
