Beginning February 17, Sienna Miller ("American Sniper," After Miss Julie) will take over the role of "Sally Bowles" opposite Alan Cumming in Broadway's Cabaret at Studio 54. In a recent interview with Vulture, Miller commented on her own vocal chops: "Recreationally, yeah. I sing all the time in the car, in the house, and I was in the choir at school. And a lot of karaoke. They would say I was prolific in the karaoke department. But that's a whole different thing."

She continued: "She's not supposed to be a formidable singer, thank God-hence it being a great part for actresses who sing, not singers who act."
