Director Rebecca Frecknall said in a statement: “I can think of no better way to celebrate this production’s incredible run on Broadway than by welcoming Billy and Marisha into the company for our final thirteen weeks. They brought down the house every night on the West End, and I cannot wait for Broadway audiences to experience the electricity they generate together.”
Producer Adam Speers said: “Having the chance to present this masterwork to audiences at this moment in history has been the honor of a lifetime. We are so proud of what Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club has achieved on Broadway – artistically, culturally, and with audiences. We’ve been unbelievably lucky to have had such an incredible string of cast members lend their talents to this run, and Billy and Marisha are the ideal stars to lead us into this final stretch.”
Cabaret boasts music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by Joe Masteroff based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood.
