Life is going to be a Cabaret for that much longer! Originally set for a 24-week limited engagement, the Roundabout revival of the musical has extended its run through January 4, 2015. The show, starring Michelle Williams in her Broadway debut and Alan Cumming reprising his Tony Award-winning role as the Emcee, began previews on March 21 and opens tonight, April 24 .
Directed by Sam Mendes and co-directed and choreographed by Rob Marshall, Cabaret takes place at the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy 1930s Berlin nightclub, where a young English cabaret performer encounters an American writer, under the watchful eye of a zealous Master of Ceremonies. The John Kander and Fred Ebb musical features such iconic songs as "Willkommen," "Don't Tell Mama," "Maybe This Time" and "Cabaret."
In addition to Williams and Cumming, the show features four-time Tony nominee Danny Burstein, two-time nominee Linda Emond, Bill Heck, Aaron Krohn and Gayle Rankin. The Kit Kat Klub boys and girls (a.k.a. the ensemble) are comprised of Will Carlyon, Kaleigh Cronin, Caleb Damschroder, Benjamin Eakeley, Andrea Goss, Leeds Hill, Kristin Olness, Kelly Paredes, Jessica Pariseau, Dylan Paul, Jane Pfitsch, Evan Siegel and Stacey Sipowicz.
