In exciting news for theater enthusiasts, Grammy-nominated artist Adam Lambert and actress Auli'i Cravalho will take center stage in the upcoming Broadway production of "Cabaret." Making their highly anticipated debuts, Lambert and Cravalho will portray the iconic characters of the Emcee and Sally Bowles, respectively, as the show returns to the Kit Kat Club this fall.

The dynamic duo will be stepping into the roles previously held by Eddie Redmayne and Gayle Rankin, who made their mark when "Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club" premiered last spring. While the production has already seen success in London's West End, its reception in New York has been a mixed bag. Although the show has been performing well at the box office, earning an impressive $1.6 million last week, the producers are counting on Lambert and Cravalho's dedicated fan bases to turn out in force.

Adam Lambert brings with him an impressive background in the entertainment industry. Not only is he a former "American Idol" breakout star, but he has also been nominated for a Grammy. Lambert has previously showcased his talents in the North American touring production of "Wicked" and appeared in notable films such as "Bohemian Rhapsody" and indie gem "Fairyland." In addition to his solo pursuits, Lambert currently fronts the legendary band Queen, solidifying his status as a sought-after performer.

Expressing his excitement for the opportunity, Lambert said, "Growing up on the musical theater stage, it was always a childhood dream to perform on Broadway. With this production of 'Cabaret,' it finally felt like the right time to accept an invitation to make my debut. The themes of this show have always resonated with me, and given the current sociopolitical climate the world is in, they feel eerily timely."

Auli'i Cravalho, known for her role as the voice of Moana, is thrilled to join the lineage of talented actresses who have portrayed Sally Bowles. Cravalho praised her predecessor, Gayle Rankin, and expressed her excitement to be part of such a historic production, surrounded by a stellar cast and crew. She said, "To join a show with so much history means it's quite literally an honor to get my butt kicked each week."

Set against the backdrop of the rise of the Nazi party, "Cabaret" is widely regarded as one of the greatest musicals ever produced. It has inspired numerous revivals and an Oscar-winning movie adaptation. Directed by Rebecca Frecknall, the latest production promises a unique experience for the audience. The show will be staged in the round, with a 90-minute pre-show featuring live performances in various spaces throughout the transformed August Wilson Theatre. Guests will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the era's nightlife, sipping cocktails and observing dancers and musicians.

With such a talented and diverse cast, coupled with the captivating storyline and innovative staging, "Cabaret" is poised to captivate audiences once more. Lambert and Cravalho's participation in the production is expected to bring a fresh energy and perspective to this beloved musical. Theater enthusiasts and fans of both artists eagerly await the opening night, ready to witness their Broadway debuts in this timeless classic.
