Orville Peck and Eva Noblezada to Be Next Stars of Cabaret on Broadway

The new stars of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club have been revealed! Trailblazing country music star Orville Peck and two-time Tony Award nominee and Grammy Award winner Eva Noblezada will star as Emcee and Sally Bowles in the Tony Award-winning production at the August Wilson Theatre.

Peck and Noblezada will play a limited 16-week engagement in Cabaret starting Monday, March 31 through Sunday, July 20. Current stars Adam Lambert and Auli‘i Cravalho will play their final performances in the production on Saturday evening, March 29. Casting for the roles of Emcee and Sally Bowles after Sunday, July 20 will be announced this summer.

Peck and his signature mask have been redefining country music and introducing it to a new audience since the release of his 2018 debut album Pony. He followed that with Bronco in 2022 and last year’s duets album, Stampede. His boldly theatrical live performances have made him a sought-after collaborator, working with music vanguards such as Willie Nelson, Elton John, Shania Twain, Kylie Minogue, and Beck. Peck trained as an actor at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and appeared in an Olivier Award-nominated play on London’s West End. Cabaret will mark his Broadway debut.

Peck said, “The Emcee has been my dream role since I was a teenager. The nature of the character allows for complete freedom of individual expression. It can be portrayed through such a vast range of emotions, perspectives, and performance styles. That kind of freedom is every actor’s dream. I truly cannot believe I’m getting to make my Broadway debut in one of my favorite shows and in probably my favorite role in all of musical theater. I grew up in the theater. I was a working actor and a dancer for many years before I started making music. I did the hustle, and the struggle, for a long time, trying to make things happen for myself. But it taught me so much of who I am as a performer and a person, so it feels very full circle to be making a return to it at this point in my career.”

Noblezada will be finishing her run as Daisy Buchanan in the hit Broadway musical The Great Gatsby on January 30. She’ll then join the West End production of Hadestown for a limited engagement reprising her Tony Award-nominated performance as Eurydice. She made her Broadway debut in the 2017 revival of Miss Saigon, for which she received a Theatre World Award and a Tony nomination. On film, she has starred in the acclaimed indie film Yellow Rose and comedy Easter Sunday.

Noblezada commented, “While studying musical theater in school, Cabaret always stood out. I was, and am, amazed by the lineage of theater royalty who have been in the show. And Sally Bowles to me is simply… fascinating. She is like a totally conscious child who is also completely unhinged. Almost clownish. But real and raw and in your face. And that character amidst and against that backdrop of such an evil reality is painfully surreal. I am totally psyched to start learning more. And I am ready to be as submissive as possible to the iconic world that is Cabaret.”

Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club also stars two-time Tony Award winner and 2024 Tony Award nominee Bebe Neuwirth as Fraulein Schneider, Calvin Leon Smith as Clifford Bradshaw, 2024 Tony Award nominee Steven Skybell as Herr Schultz, Henry Gottfried as Ernst Ludwig, and Michelle Aravena as Fritzie/Kost.
