London's Oliver-winning Cabaret revival will welcome several new stars to the Kit Kat Club next month.
Beginning June 3, Heartstopper's Rhea Norwood will step into the role of Sally Bowles, while Everybody’s Talking About Jamie's Layton Williams will become the new Emcee. The two actors will succeed Cara Delevingne and Luke Treadaway. (Norwood and Williams are currently scheduled to continue through September 21.)
The company will also welcome Sally Ann Triplett as Fraulein Schneider and Fenton Gray as Herr Schultz, who will replace Beverley Klein and Teddy Kempner.
The production, which recently surpassed 1,000 performances, also features Michael Ahomka-Lindsay as Clifford Bradshaw, Wilf Scolding as Ernst Ludwig, Jessica Kirton as Fraulein Kost/Fritzie, Liv Alexander as Texas, Natalie Chua as Frenchie, Laura Delany as Rosie, Taite-Elliot Drew as Hans, Damon Gould as Victor, El Haq Latief as Helga, Grant Neal as Herman/Max, Hicaro Nicolai as Lulu, and Travis Ross as Bobby.
The cast is completed by Rebecca Lisewski, Ela Lisondra, Nic Myers, Andy Rees, Toby Turpin, and Patrick Wilden. Nic Myers plays the role of Sally Bowles once a week.
The prologue company includes Rachel Benson, Ami Benton, Onyemachi Ejimofor, Joseph Hardy, Liz Kamille, Andrew Linnie, Aine McLoughlin, Jack William Parry, Jazmyn Raikes, Oliver Stockley, and Ena Yamaguchi.
This production of Cabaret opened in December 2021, subsequently winning a record-breaking seven Olivier Awards. The revival recently transferred to Broadway's August Wilson Theatre with the London production's Olivier-winning original Emcee, Eddie Redmayne, reprising his performance for the Broadway bow, opposite Gayle Rankin as Sally Bowles, Bebe Neuwirth as Fraulein Schneider, Ato Blankson-Wood as Clifford Bradshaw, and Steven Skybell as Herr Schultz.
Based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood, Cabaret has music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by Joe Masteroff.
This production is directed by Rebecca Frecknall with set and costume design by Tom Scutt, choreography by Julia Cheng, musical supervision by Jennifer Whyte, musical direction by Ben Ferguson, lighting design by Isabella Byrd, and sound design by Nick Lidster. The casting director is Stuart Burt, and the associate director is Jordan Fein.
