OHMYGOD HEY!
It was announced earlier today that the award winning, smash hit West End revival of CABARET would transfer to the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway.
With some details confirmed and others yet to be determined, I'm talking through everything we know so far about the 2024 production inclduing who might star alongside Eddie Redmayne if Jessie Buckley doesn't reprise her role as Sally Bowles and if the show will be as succesful in New York.
Check out today's brand new video for my take on this huge piece of theatre news...

Billie Piper would bring so much to Sally, not just in terms of star power but also an astonishing skill set. She would be electrifying as Sally!!!!
THE WAY I WOULD SLAP DOWN MY CREDIT CARD SO FAST FOR BILLIE PIPER!!
Honestly if Julie Benko wasn’t in Harmony I think she’d make a great Sally Bowels, or at least the alternate. She probably wouldn’t be casted as the principle role due to not being a household name, but I can still imagine she would be amazing at the role
Julie Benko got a HUGE BUZZ for being fantastic in "FUNNY GIRL." She could easily be cast as Sally Bowles.
Tbh maybe she’s not a household name but I feel like she’s VERY well known in the theatre community now after her success in funny girl
I'm sure the last thing Julie wants is another gig being "the alternate" She's far too revered for that at this point.
@@kallen868 - Completely agree…. if anything Julie Benko should be Fran Drescher’s first choice to star in “The Nanny” musical.
The ticket prices on this will be MIND BLOWING!
Oh yep
As a HUGE Jessie Buckley stan, I am disappointed she won't be doing it - but since her film 'dance card' is chock full (she already had to drop out of Hot Milk in order to do Hamnet), I can see why she'd opt for the potentially bigger/award-winning film roles. What struck me when you mentioned Michaela is that she's actually a dead ringer for Marisa Berenson, who of course played Natalia Landauer in the film (who isn't even a character in the musical)!
I’ve always thought Diana agron would make a fantastic sally!
Danny Burstein played Herr Schultz in 2014 on broadway but I would LOVE for him to reprise his role. I also want Carolee Carmello as Fraulein Schneider because that would be iconic
I was racking my brain trying to remember if he had because it seemed too perfect! 😅
@@MickeyJoTheatre He was, I saw him, Alan Cummings and Sienna Miller during the last month of that run, so good.
He was so perfect for it that he earned a Tony Nomination for Herr Schultz in that 2014 revival.
@@bardlarksame! I saw (almost) the last performance cuz my cousin, Dylan Paul, played Victor 🤩
@@MickeyJoTheatre - How about Dan Fogler for Herr Schultz? He is Jewish, has a Tony, and is friends with Eddie Redmayne.
Mentioning David tennant makes me want to see him as the emcee
Matt Smith has the musical history.....
@@PS-DLMA next two emcees sorted
I'd personally love to see Andrew Garfield as Emcee
I am curious to see what happens but Eva Noblezada the OG Eurydice just announced her departure from Hadestown the day before they announced the transfer!!! I think it’s kinda suspicious to be timed to close!! Her performance would be impeccable!
She is leaving theater for now.
@@ChienaAvtzonwell… you both were wrong lol
I have been hoping, praying, screaming, begging for this!!!
I saw this on Broadway when it was being done at Studio 54 - it was perfect! We sat at a cabaret table at stage level.
This is definitely the biggest news but in my heart the biggest news is seeing Eva leave Hadestown 💔
if there was any reason I'd live in NYC it would be to be able to see so many of these shows without having to only pick a couple per occasional visit. At the very least I wish the Eurostar was cheaper so I could be in London more often.
Problem with using Emma Watson as an example is she was heavily autotuned in Beauty and the Beast and even then her voice was not good. I'd rather see anyone else you mentioned
I always found Fraülein Schneider more of a scene stealer than Fraülein Kost. Just something so raw and real about her, especially when she sings "what would you do?" and then that beautiful monologue about how she's survived despite being raised in a very troubling world. Not that I don't appreciate Kost but Schneider will always hold a very special place in my heart
I know Cristin Milioti, Adrienne Warren, and Micaela Diamond are rumored to be playing Sally. And I don’t hate the idea of Danny going back to Herr Schultz!
Milioti would be so great.
Jessie Buckley has been repeatedly Oscar nominated- i Would say I could be a clash with other worker if she doesn’t do it
Maybe Brandon Uranowitz as Cliff? He is able to sing, a la falsettos, but was recently part of the tony award winning play 'Leopoldstadt"
He would more likely be cast as Herr Schultz.
Was thinking the same thing. He may be a little young for Herr Schultz but I'd love to see him in this
Eva Noblezada just announced a departure from Hadestown. I was curious about whether that was due to getting another job. I think this could be an exciting casting choice for Sally!
This is what I was thinking
After Schmicago, I suggest Dove Cameron!
I highly doubt Dove Cameron would open the show, but I could definitely see her being a replacement for Sally
I also wanted to point out that there was a wildly successful run of Cabaret this summer at Barrington Stage Company, one of the elite regional theaters in the US. Krysta Rodriguez played Sally Bowles to great acclaim. She has been on B'Way before, a few times. She would be 100% qualified and I think B'Way producers watch those top tier regional theaters for potential casting choices. I could see this happening, though maybe she is not a big enough name to match Eddie Redmayne.
I’m sure she’s got a myriad of other projects on her plate at the moment, but I genuinely believe that Mia Goth was born to play Sally (especially after having seen her performance in Pearl).
Can Mia Goth sing? Since, if she can, that would be inspired casting.
Oh interesting - I really like the August Wilson as it is, so a little nervous about it being transformed - but on the other hand the Kit Kat Club was done very well here of course so could be cool. Excited to hear how the casting ends up going!
Lily James or Amanda Seyfried would slay
Excellent casting analysis. I'm excited in fifteen directions at once for the implications on both sides of the ocean.
Jessie Buckley please!
As someone who saw the West End production twice in the last couple weeks, this is by far the best news I have heard and was waiting to hear for quite some time! That being said, I am really curious of how they are gonna transfer this to Broadway. Obviously, the entirety of the August Wilson Theatre is gonna be changed from top to bottom. Capacity will be reduced, the stage will be gutted, and the theatre will (for the time being) will not be named the August Wilson, but the Kit Kat Club. I'm excited to see this FINALLY come to NYC, but get ready to see OUTRAGEOUS ticket prices!
It is not necessary true the Broadway transfer will be “immersive”.
I'd love to see it whilst Mason Alexander Park is the emcee! Were they good?
@@aspieringnerd9073 oh hell yes! They brought both cheeky and cute as well as scary and thrilling to the character!
@@aspieringnerd9073I saw Mason perform a few days ago and I’d maybe go as far to say that they give the best performance I’ve ever seen on stage. Never been so captivated before!
@@aspieringnerd9073 They're so fantastic in the role. If at all possible, they should be cast for the transfer hands down.
As an American I’d go just to see Billie Piper. Also love the show overall but that’s just such a cherry on top.
I know it'll NEVER happen (due to both how Americans see this role and her schedule), but wouldn't it be the biggest gag if they decided to say "FUCK conventional casting" and cast Lady Gaga as the Emcee?
How would the number in drag work, in that case? Would she dress as a man for the whole show and get into something more feminine when the time comes, or the other way round?
They could never afford her. She's WAY too expensive.
@whenthechipsaredown9355 cool
I’ve wanted to see a female emcee for a while regardless, hopefully one day!
i think anne hathaway has expressed interest in sally before 👀 and they have the les mis connection, maybe Eddie would be able to convince her with the idea of a tony
There was a FANTASTIC revival of "CABARET" on Broadway in 1998; which itself was revived in 2014, which had all the innovations you mentioned. That said, Julie Benko would be great as Sally Bowles, if she is not otherwise engaged. She is FANTASTIC!!!
Julie Benko is one of the leads in Barry Manilow’s “Harmony”.
Good call on Charlotte d'Amboise ... She was terrific as Roxie Hart, and that role seems to share DNA with Fraulein Kost.
If she hadn't publicly announced she's done doing musicals, I might suggest Patti LuPone for Schneider, in a nod to Lotte Lenya, since LuPone has sung a LOT of Weill in cabaret performances, as well as doing Mahoganny at the L.A. Opera some years back.
Danny Burstein was in the 2014 remounting of the revival as Herr Schulz, for which he was Tony nominated. I’d wager we won’t see him in this production.
Agreed…. however, I would not be too surprised if Dan Fogler is cast as Herr Schultz. Since he is a Tony-winner, and friend with Eddie Redmayne.
If they are going for movie stars, I'd love to see Florence Pugh or Saoirse Ronan have a crack at Sally
One of those has been offered the role in London before 👀
its going into the August Wilson and will be renovated to be in the round
Tommy at the Goodman will come to NY. Stunning production .
Cabaret is so synonymous with Studio 54 that it's gonna be weird to see a production at another Broadway theatre, but Studio 54 also needs a break from that show. 🤣 I'm very curious how they'll dress the August Wilson.
If color coding happens, I could see Cynthia Erivo, making her Broadway return (and it’s free advertising for Wicked 💚). Cynthia is British so that part is taken care of and she an emotional powerhouse.
Eva Noblezada just announced she's departing Hadestown in August - I wouldn't be surprised at all if she's in the running for Sally!
Id hardly call Eddie being involved in casting his Sally misogynistic.....
What about Amy Lou Wood? I saw her in Cabaret and she was amazing! I think she would be great on Broadway 🎭 😊
Would love to see how this looks on Broadway? 🤔 I wonder if there will be many changes as it obviously has hit the nail in the UK, saw it last year and it was FAB-U-LOUS!!
I don’t think Lea Michele would sell tickets. People paid to see her do Funny Girl because they wanted to hear her sing DROMP but I do t think people would want to see her in anything else. Her reputation is too tarnished. I want Eva Noblezada to do it. She has the voice and she deserves to do a show where she doesn’t die. I would love Micaela Diamond though. I’ve seen Parade three times and every time I’ve seen her all I can think is that she is going to become a superstar.
'Here Lies Love' is hardly a new musical. I saw it at the National (Cottesloe as it was then) with that kind of immersive staging quite a few years ago. New to Broadway perhaps.
It also seems to me that Jessie Buckley is not gonna return to her role as Sally Bowles in this Broadway transfer. In the last 6 weeks of her run, she was not in quite a lot, sometimes she was only doing 4 shows a week or just absent for a whole week. Maybe this explains why she's not gonna return.
I remember hearing about that, when she won the Olivier. Apparently, many in the UK did not feel she deserved the nomination, let alone to win, because of how inconsistent her attendance was.
@@ChienaAvtzon I attended the 2022 Olivier Award ceremony live at the Royal Albert Hall. When her name was announced as the winner, the entire auditorium erupted in great applause, with many giving her a standing ovation. Her acting, singing, and performance undoubtedly earned her this award, especially since she also won the Best Actress prize at the Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for her role in Cabaret (though Cabaret didn't win Best Musical in that award). While I do agree that commitment is very important, I am not sure whether consistent attendance is considered in the award criteria.
During her run, I bought five tickets, and she was absent for one show, which was quite disappointing given the ticket price and the very short notice provided by the production company. After she left, I attended her gig and overheard her conversation with others who had bought Matinee tickets on the last day of her run but couldn't see her. She expressed sincere apologies, explaining that she was not feeling well. I don't blame her or other actors/actresses for such situations, but as I mentioned earlier, I appreciate those who are committed to performing in 8 shows a week for months or even years.
A new rumor is that the female lead has a connection to the previous Bway productions, and is a TV star. My guess based on that would be the connection is Alan Cumming since he was in both productions, and both were in a TV show together, Schmigadoon... so Dove Cameron?
Dove would be a great choice, because of the amount of attention she’s gotten in the media with her music, she could bring in a lot of fans
I'm dying to see Andrew garfield as the emcee
Yes
Omg yes, PLEASE!
This is literally the only "famous movie star" I could ever accept in the role!! He'd be so good.
Billie Piper would be a HARDCORE Sally.
Billy Porter as Emcee would be stupendous.
Billy Porter is great, but him playing the Emcee defeats the purpose of the character. The Emcee is German and supports the Nazi regime.
i'm throwing Krysta Rodriguez into the mix for Sally Bowles, as Barrington Stage's production with her starring in the same role had glowing reviews!
You're great!!! Here's one to ponder....MAME....it'd due, but WHOM??????
I'm honestly wondering, especially with the writers strike delaying production even more, if they could nab Millie Bobby Brown or Sadie Sink. Sadie has already been on Broadway, and Millie has always dreamed of being on Broadway. They're probably out of the price range, but I feel like that's the star power they need. I don't think Eddie Redmayne is the draw they think he is.
You forgot Jennifer Jason Leigh as Sally w/ Alan Cummings they’re incredibly close friends IRL
I think they need to snag Billie Piper for Broadway and I honestly think Mason Alexander Park should continue the role on Bway. He’s much more well known here in US and he’s currently killing it on the West End.
Mason and Billie would be my dream. I'd fly in and watch it atleast 3 nights in a row.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about the Funny Girl tour casting
Has that been announced?
Eva Noblezada is leaving hadestown so that is sone suspicious timing… Also, Krysta Rodriques is currently doing another production of cabaret so it would be interesting if they were cast someone from there
Micaela Diamond...but if we must have a movie star...Florence Pugh // Anya Taylor Joy. I will gladly taker either of those options!
What gives me pause about the August Wilson is that accessibility there is pretty bad, unless they do some major renovation. As it is now, that entrance foyer isn't accessible at all without stairs.
Mandy Patinkin as Herr Schultz.
I'd love this but doubt he would, unfortch.
Given the likely sky-high ticket prices, would you recommend this production to someone who is not necessarily a Cabaret superfan? I've only ever seen a touring production at the Kennedy Center, and I was glad to have seen it but it's not something I've ever felt the need to see again. Would this production sell it to me more successfully/ differently than previous revivals? I realize I'm asking a potentially subjective question but would welcome anyone's opinion!
I’m SO late to this conversation, but I heard that there are three top actresses being considered for Sally at the moment: Adrienne Warren and Micaela Diamond, as mentioned in the video, as well as Cristin Milioti from Once, though she’s best known for being The Mother in How I Met Your Mother.
Eddie Raymond is returning. I heard that Sally might be. MICAELA
DIAMOND Leah Michelle is doing the Chess revival
Micaela Diamond is amazing and would be wonderful as Sally.
I’d heard the rumours about the show opening at the August Wilson and Billie Piper potentially playing Sally when I was in NY last month, chatted to a couple of theatre workers who seemed to have all the inside info. And yes the word on the street in New York is that Eddie is very keen to come back and reprise the role of the Emcee 👀
I'd be so excited for Billie!! But I really don't want to see Eddie. He's just too famous for the role, personally. It would be distracting for me. I'd love if he had a great alternate and a planned day off each week that I could book.
I'd still love to see the Emcee presented opposite of the usual, something more like a leather bear. I hope to be able to see this when it opens!
As far as Billie Piper goes, I think it's actually more likely americans would know her as the person who coughed blood all over Reeve Carney in Penny Dreadful. I love Doctor Who, but it's very much niche here.
Also wanted to say thank you so much for mentioning Fat Ham during your NYC trip. I managed to see the final evening performance because of it.
Emma Watson, bless her heart, doesn't have the goods to play Sally Bowles. She peaked with playing Hermione.
Are you going to see Blood Brothers this year (UK an Ireland tour)?
Eva Noblezada is a possibility... I would also be curious to see Kathryn Gallagher in the role, she was excellent in both Jagged Little Pill and Spring Awakening... Barrett Wilbert Weed is another one I'd be curious about
For some reason, I wanted Monica Barbaro to be on Broadway and the perfect role I wanted to see her in is Sally Bowles in Cabaret. Now that Cabaret is coming to Broadway, and Monica is going to be an excellent singer, she’s starring in a new Bob Dylan biopic, I think Monica would be the best Sally Bowles ever! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I wonder how well received a theater in the round staging would be received on Broadway. It's worked before, but think the show might do better with immersive seating and a jutting stage.
I have not even watched this yet but idk if you know there is extreme upset as Funny Girl just announced Fanny for the national tour and well it seems she isn't Jewish.
Many Jewish actresses are rightly angry over that casting. As a Jewish woman myself, I hope the “Funny Girl” tour flops if the producers do not recast Fanny Brice…. ASAP!!!!
@@ChienaAvtzon I was so excited about it too! It's really sad, and I blame the casting directors because they had to know that they can't just cast some-Jewish person as Fanny and not expect an uproar. I feel bad for the actress still because I don't think she quite understood what she has gotten into.
@@that1theatreguy - I do not feel bad for the actress. Carol Burnett was originally offered the role of Fanny Brice, and turned it down, because she believed it should launch a Jewish actress’ career. Which is how and why Barbara Streisand ended up being cast. The revival essentially launched Julie Benko’s career, when she turned out to be incredibly popular, and kept the show afloat long enough for Lea Michelle to be cast. Lea Michelle, while not Jewish, at least had a Jewish father. So, she has some cultural and ethnic connection. It is not dissimilar to when Josh Groban, who’s father is Jewish, portrayed Tevye in high school. But to cast a completely non-Jewish actress as a Jewish woman from Brooklyn is actually quite offensive. As it plays into every antisemitic stereotype.
@@ChienaAvtzon I see your point and also Queen Carol. I can't even imagine how Funny Girl would've turned out had any of the other actresses said yes or not dropped out of it (Mary Martin, I think). But still, the casting directors shouldn't have cast her (Because we need to consider her feelings as actors are people just like we are) in the first place because it's disrespectful to Jewish people. I don't know if they'll just ignore the backlash or recast her. But like it also raises the question of what would the real Fanny Brice think about any of this because so many people (even her daughter who didn't like Barbra) have spoken on who should and shouldn't play her.
For future reference, it's Alan Cumming (without an s) 😊
I saw the Studio 54 revival but, unfortunately, not until the stunt casting phase with Molly Ringwald as Sally. It was apparent that her acting style was meant for the camera and not the theater. Sally, of course, is a big personality but Molly's performance was small and contained. John Stamos was the MC and was surprisingly good (perhaps because my expectations were low). I'm looking forward to seeing this version when it arrives and hope they cast an actor who can command the stage as Sally.
I enjoyed Molly...I didn't find her low key at all.
@@kallen868 I enjoyed her too and it was not a bad performance. I just did not feel a stage presence that commanded the theater at any point.
“Cabaret” is very much associated with Joel Gray and Alan Cumming as the Emcee, on Broadway. However, Eddie Redmayne is a huge name and is quite quirky. I am not surprised he cast himself as the Emcee, and was a creative force. Josh Groban did the same thing with “Sweeney Todd”. Micaela Diamond would be a wonderful Sally Bowles. She is incredibly talented and I loved her as Lucille Frank, in “Parade”.
PS: Mickey, Emma Watson is tone deaf and cannot sing.
People need to let go of this obsession with Watson. No, Mickey!!! Just no!!!!
@@lonellfletcher - Not only is Emma Watson tone deaf, she cannot act. No one would pay Broadway prices to see her. That type of stunt casting might work in the West End, but after what happened with Beanie Feldstein in “Funny Girl”, it will not fly on Broadway.
If the “Cabaret” producers cast anyone from the Wizarding World, it would most likely be Dan Fogler for Herr Schultz. Since, he worked with Eddie Redmayne and won a Tony for a role in a musical.
Mason Alexander park for emcee....the best so far
Danny Bernstein would be great but we know this because he did it in the last revival at studio 54 he was phenomenal!!! I’d 100% welcome him back to this role❣️❣️❣️❣️
Jessie Mueller would be great as Sally.
My bet - Lea Michelle. Sally Bowles is a far cry from Fanny Brice as a character.
Lea Michelle is rumored to be attached to the “Chess” revival. Those producers need a huge marquee name, if they are going to entice investors. Since, “Chess” was a notorious flop on Broadway, and Americans associate the song “Anthem” with Josh Groban. The score is also stylistically very different from “Funny Girl”.
If you want someone who is not the greatest singer, or dancer, Emma Watson's the ticket.
Gimme Christian Borle as the Emcee, would just love that
I’d love Jessie Buckley to open it, but if she’s not able to my vote is Evan Rachel Wood.
My predictions for Cabaret on bway
The Emcee: Eddie Redmayne
Sally Bowles: Maude Apatow
Cliff Bradshaw: Joshua Henry
Fräulein Schneider: Victoria Clark
Herr Schultz: Chip Zien
Herr Ernst Ludwig: Jason Forbach
Fräulein Kost: Hannah Corneau
Norbert Leo Butz is not Jewish. Mickey said, this production exclusively casts Jewish actors as Herr Schulz.
@@ChienaAvtzon oh really? I thought he was. My mistake
Joshua Henry shouldn't be wasted on a role as small as Cliff imo. Love the idea of Vicky Clark as Schneider.
They just announced the cast for the new Stephen Sondheim musical and Micaela Diamond is in it, so I guess someone else for Cabaret?
That show is having a strictly limited run, and rumor is it might not even be able to finish the run. The musical was nowhere near finished when Sondheim passed away. Plus, the schedules do not overlap. As “Cabaret” is opening around March/April time.
As a woman, I think it's deeply irresponsible of you painting someone wanting to work with someone and asking if they want to come aboard their passion project as misogynistic. He's not picking from a list. He's just hoping they'll want to work on the project. He got Jessie Buckley on board even before there was a director.
With entrance in London (and presumably in New York) through the stage door and up stairs, does anyone know how entry for disabled audience members was accommodated?
I believe there is a street level door that goes to the gold bar (which is the old foyer)
Cara Delivigne!
This won’t happen, but really they should just cast Emily Benjamin and make her the international star she deserves to be. Anyone who’s happened to see her take on Sally in London is very lucky!
of what they did to the BROADWAY theatre.....do not think American audiences really into an ""intermissive environment""...after all..Oklahoma did not really do that well here
“Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812” was one of the biggest flops in Broadway history, and much of it was due to it being immersive. It literally tanked the moment Josh Groban left. While, many producers refused to invest in it, because they predicted it would fail to capture an audience…. even with Josh Groban having above-title-billing. So, it is pretty safe to say, that immersive musicals are not to a NYC audience’s tastes. Though, it is very possible the Broadway transfer of “Cabaret” will be contained on a traditional proscenium stage. Especially, since the August Wilson is known for being a beautiful theater.
can not see them tearing up the A.Wilson theatre.......making it into a club like in London
the show at the Broadway...where they tore. up the theatre...is not doing very well.....and has a huge cost for the show because
As great as “Cabaret” is, I do not see this revival being as popular as the “Funny Girl” and “Sweeney Todd” revivals. Even if “Sweeney Todd” remains open after Josh Groban leaves. While, it is great that younger audiences are loving “Cabaret” in the West End, immersive musicals are not well-received by Broadway audiences. It is viewed as a pointless and annoying gimmick. However, if the staging is changed and contained on the proscenium, then it could be incredibly successful.
Though, Eddie Redmayne better realize he is going to be compared to Joel Grey and Alan Cummings. Both of whom set the standard for the Emcee on Broadway. Especially, since this revival could easily come across as a vanity project. As Eddie Redmayne is playing towards type, akin to Hugh Jackman in “The Music Man”. Whereas, Josh Groban went against type, for “Sweeney Todd”.
I AGREE with your assessment...do not think ready for another revival of CABERET...unless some how really different staging of the show....and not INTERMISSIVE....those shows do not draw audiences...and can not afford to destroy a theatre .......
@@0530evan - The most immersive a musical was ever able to get, and still be successful on Broadway, was “Moulin Rouge”. Which, like “Cabaret”, takes place within a nightclub.
From what I've heard Lea Michele's next gig is a Carnegie Hall concert.
Hear me out.. Emily Hampshire as Sally Bowles.
queremos Myra Ruiz
Juno Temple
I'd love a star who doesn't have to fake the Brit accent.
Tony shaloob for heir shultz
What about Jane Krankowski or Kristen Chenoweth
Too mature.
@@kallen868 not for Fraulein Kost or Schneider
@@susanpolastaples9688Krakowski could probably do Kost well in her sleep. Would be interesting to see her Schneider.
it already won best revival Lolo which is funny
Can they try and get Mia Goth
Cabaret is one of those shows like Gypsy, Sweeney, Into the Woods and The Music Man that are revived to death! I'd like to see some ignored shows brought back like Mame, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Will Rogers Follies or Ragtime. Just sayin'.
“Ragtime” was revived less than a decade ago, and it was one of the biggest flops in Broadway history. No one will ever find a production of it again, because audiences never seemed to enjoy it. Plus, the original was never very good to begin with.
*Alan Cumming
I know - every time I said it I was like "there's no second s is there?" but my brain was committed to it and by the time I was editing it was too late 😅
I dunno why but I’d really like to see Leslie Odom Jr as Cliff, even though we’d we shorted his singing abilities.
His ego is way too big to accept a role that small lol
Emily Hampshire should be Sally!
I saw Michelle Williams as Sally Bowles on Broadway a good few years ago. Wasn't majorly impressed with her take on Sally. Played her a bit ditsy. I think Emma Watson would be a good choice. Or perhaps Anna Kendrick!
I felt the same! The rest of the cast was phenomenal. Williams just didn't seem comfortable in the role or on stage. I do love her in many films but she was not a good fit in Cabaret.
Emma Watson can’t actually sing…virtually every note of Beauty and the Beast had to be edited.
@@1pureboy1 ah didn’t know that. Not her then 👍
@@sarah.93.30 - How did you not know that? It was incredibly obvious Emma Watson was auto tuned. Emma Watson was so tone deaf, the recording studio had to break every syllable apart and jigsaw her voice back together. Even Dan Stevens, who cannot sing either, did not require that much editing.
@@ChienaAvtzon fair enough. I can’t sing either but I ain’t judging
Eva noblezada is leaving hadestown tho
Americans do use the word foyer lol don't worry
Oh good to know! I remember speaking to people in New York who had no idea what I was talking about 😅
@@MickeyJoTheatre We definitely do. (At least in my experience) a Foyer is in someone's house, a public building has a lobby
@@MickeyJoTheatre haha i guess it depends on the person
@@kylejensen2833 agreed
And Ariana Dubose for Sally
she will be half the production price to pay her every week.
