The curtain is about to rise on one of Broadway’s hottest tickets, and residents of ARO’s distinctive luxury apartments in Midtown West have front-row seats. Just moments from their light-filled homes boasting floor-to-ceiling views of Manhattan, “Cabaret” is bringing its award-winning revival to the August Wilson Theatre this April.
ARO residents won’t want to miss this new production of Kander & Ebb’s “Cabaret,” directed by up-and-coming talent Rebecca Frecknall. Fresh off nabbing seven Olivier Awards for its West End run, the production stars Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne returning to the musical stage as the Emcee after his own award-winning turn, alongside Gayle Rankin making her Broadway debut as Sally Bowles. With previews starting April 1, 2024, the limited engagement will transform the August Wilson Theatre into a seedy 1930s Berlin cabaret club, inviting audiences into the world of the Kit Kat Klub as the Nazi threat looms.
The musical features an iconic score with songs like “Maybe This Time” and “Cabaret” as it explores the complicated relationship between American writer Cliff Bradshaw and English cabaret performer Sally Bowles. Having originally premiered on Broadway in 1966 with a performance run of 1,100+ performances, this revival aims to fully immerse attendees in the danger and decadence of 1931 Berlin.
Upon entering the August Wilson Theatre, audiences will find themselves in the confines of the Kit Kat Club, Berlin’s infamous 1930s cabaret. With dining, drinks, and entertainment all offered before the show, guests can relax and loosen up before the main event. Performers interact with theatergoers during this club experience, fully enveloping them in the world of Sally Bowles and the Emcee.
Catch Eddie Redmayne’s chilling Emcee and Gayle Rankin’s magnetic Sally Bowles while you can! Their Broadway run lasts only until August 2024. For the full star power, catch a show before mid-June, when the leads begin a modified schedule. “Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club” runs approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes with intermission. Early arrival allows you to soak in the one-of-a-kind cabaret environment. Don’t miss your chance to be captivated by this visionary revival with its Tony-winning cast.
