A Broadway revival of “Cabaret,” directed by Rebecca Frecknall and co-starring Gayle Rankin, will transform the August Wilson Theatre into a decadent Berlin club.
Gayle Rankin and Eddie Redmayne will star as Sally Bowles and the Emcee, respectively, in the upcoming Broadway revival of “Cabaret.” Eddie Redmayne had such a satisfying Broadway experience in “Red” — playing the assistant to artist Mark Rothko, for which he won a Tony in 2010 — that he wasn’t sure he’d ever find a role as fulfilling to entice him back.
The musical’s title has undergone a renovation, as well: It’s now being called “Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club,” a moniker born in the 2021 London incarnation that also starred Redmayne and that won him an Olivier Award. “Cabaret,” based on the play “I Am a Camera,” by John Van Druten, has been staged in celebrated Broadway revivals before, most notably in the 1998 version starring Alan Cumming and the late Natasha Richardson. Cumming reprised the role of Emcee opposite Michelle Williams in 2014 at Studio 54 — a production in which the Scottish-born, Juilliard-trained Rankin played Fraulein Kost, the lady of the evening in Sally’s boardinghouse.“She kind of holds her own mystery,” said Rankin of Sally.
