Complete casting for Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club starring Academy Award® and Tony Award® winner Eddie Redmayne in his Olivier Award®-winning performance as the ‘Emcee’ and introducing Gayle Rankin as the toast of Mayfair ‘Sally Bowles,’ all directed by Rebecca Frecknall, announce the Prologue Company, the dancers and musicians that welcome audiences to the club, as rehearsals are now underway in New York City.
As audiences arrive, they are invited to explore the Kit Kat Club and discover a world inhabited by movement, music, and sensuality that spans a century from 2024 New York City to 1929 Germany. Designer Tom Scutt said, “Our Prologue Company thrillingly introduces you to the world of Cabaret, ushering in the production itself with extraordinary artistic flair as they weave amongst you across the Kit Kat Club.” Choreographed by Julia Cheng.
The production will also star two-time Tony Award winner Bebe Neuwirth as ‘Fraulein Schneider,’ Tony Award nominee Ato Blankson-Wood as ‘Cliff Bradshaw,’ Obie Award winner and Drama Desk Award® nominee Steven Skybell as ‘Herr Schultz,’ Henry Gottfried as ‘Ernst Ludwig,’ and three-time Helen Hayes Award® winner Natascia Diaz as ‘Fraulein Kost/Fritzie.’
