The Broadway revival of “Cabaret” will end its run at the Kit Kat Club at the August Wilson Theatre on October 19. The production opened on April 21, 2024, following a transfer from London’s West End, where the revival continues to run.
Billy Porter and Marisha Wallace will join the production for its final 13 weeks, beginning performances on July 22. They will take over the roles of the Emcee and Sally Bowles, respectively, from current stars Orville Peck and Eva Noblezada, whose final shows are set for July 20.
Both Porter and Wallace previously appeared in the West End staging of “Cabaret,” performing these roles earlier in 2024.
“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 13 weeks,” said director Rebecca Frecknall in a statement. “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.”
