“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,” Redmayne said.
The actor added, “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.”
Redmayne and Rankin are scheduled to play a limited engagement through Aug. 31.
We're guessing Cabaret fans will dance to Broadway to watch the award-winning actor take the stage next year.
