Eddie Redmayne to Bring 'Cabaret' Revival to Broadway with Gayle Rankin as Sally Bowles!

Eddie Redmayne will return to Broadway next year in a revival of Cabaret!

The Oscar and Tony-winning actor previously played the Emcee in the West End revival of Cabaret in late 2021 and he won an Olivier Award for his performance.

The production is now heading to Broadway with Gayle Rankin taking on the role of Sally Bowles, a full decade after she made her Broadway debut in the last revival of Cabaret in the role of Fraulein Kost.

The producers of the new production say that “the creative team will transform the August Wilson Theatre into the Kit Kat Club with an in-the-round auditorium and sinfully dreamlike spaces which guests will be invited to explore featuring pre-show entertainment, drinks, and dining. After purchasing tickets, guests will receive a ‘club entry time’ to allow them to take in the world of the club before the show starts.”

Eddie and Gayle will only be in the production for a limited run though!

Eddie Redmayne said, “It was whilst playing ‘The Emcee’ in a student production of Cabaret over 25 years ago that my love for theater was properly ignited. It now feels completely thrilling and a little surreal to be a part of Rebecca’s truly unique vision of Masteroff, Kander, and Ebb’s brilliance as it arrives on Broadway, where the piece has such a history. I am beyond excited to be doing it arm-in-arm with the remarkable Gayle Rankin and a truly stunning cast and team. I am hoping we will create an experience for you quite unlike any other.”

Gayle Rankin said, “Cabaret has been a wildly profound marker in my life. How I understand myself as an artist and citizen in the very fragile world we live in has proved to revolve on its axis. I am completely honored to hold hands with Sally inside of this singular, powerful production, and forever grateful to Rebecca, Eddie, and the whole family for inviting me into its creation on Broadway.”
