We've all been waiting with bated breath for the announcement of our new Sally Bowles and Emcee, and we don't have to wait any longer!
The show opened late last year to outstanding reviews and audiences have been raving about the spectacle ever since. The incredible Amy Lennox and Fra Fee will be taking over these iconic roles from Jessie Buckley and Eddie Redmayne on 21st March 2022.
Fra Free (The Ferryman, Hawkeye) and Amy Lennox (Lazarus, Kinky Boots) are not the only new cast members joining Cabaret on the 21st March. Other new cast members include, Omar Baroud as Cliff Bradshaw, Vivien Parry as Fraulein Schneider. The following cast members will be extending their time on the show: Elliot Levey as Herr Schultz, Stewart Clarke as Ernst Ludwig and Anna-Jane Casey as Fraulein Kost.
The remaining members completing the cast are Josh Andrews, Emily Benjamin, Sally Frith, Matthew Gent, Emma Louise Jones, Ela Lisondra, Theo Maddix, Chris O'Mara, Daniel Perry, Andre Refig, Christopher Tendai, Bethany Terry, Lillie-Pearl Wildman and Sophie Maria Wojna.
The director, Rebecca Frecknall had this to say today about the new cast members: “It's always exciting to be able to keep a production live and evolving across its run, to be able to continue digging into the piece and making new discoveries. The fact that we will have new actors taking on the roles of Sally and the Emcee as Cabaret continues to run in the West End is thrilling, the original cast passing the baton to different actors who will bring their own perspectives to the work.
I'm thrilled that Fra Fee and Amy Lennox will be the first new pair joining the production this Spring, two of our most exciting stage and screen actors. I know they will bring new creative energy to the production and will show me and our audiences new facets of the show.”
Who's excited for the new casting? I've seen Fra Fee perform once before at a solo gig, and he did not disappoint, so I'm particularly excited to see what he brings to the role.
