Tony-Winners Joshua Henry, Caissie Levy, Aaron Tveit, & More Set for The Cabaret's 2026 Fall-Winter Season

The Cabaret has announced its 2026 Fall-Winter Season, a showcase of Broadway brilliance, jazz excellence, and cabaret artistry. The season is anchored by this year's Tony Award winners Joshua Henry (Best Actor in a Musical) and Caissie Levy (Best Actress in a Musical), alongside Tony Award winner Aaron Tveit, who inaugurates The Cabaret's new Marquee Series.

Joining Henry, Levy, and Tveit is a compelling roster of artists whose work spans Broadway, jazz, and television. Ana Gasteyer, currently starring in the 2026 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Schmigadoon!, returns with her signature blend of musical precision and wry sophistication. Jenn Colella-a Tony nominee and Grammy Award winner known for Come From Away, SUFFS, and Dear Evan Hansen-brings her electrifying vocals and deeply personal storytelling. Cheyenne Jackson, following his recent turn in Oh, Mary!, offers a festive holiday engagement. Two-time Grammy Award-winning jazz artist Nicole Zuraitis appears as part of The Cabaret's ongoing collaboration with Indy Jazz Fest, representing one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary jazz.

Together, these artists represent a distinguished cross-section of contemporary performance, with collective achievements across the Tony and Grammy Awards. Their appearances further affirm The Cabaret's national reputation for presenting world-class artists in an unrivaled intimate setting.

INTRODUCING THE CABARET MARQUEE SERIES

The season also introduces The Cabaret's Marquee Series, a bold new initiative devoted to presenting internationally recognized artists within the organization's signature, intimate venue.

The inaugural engagement features Aaron Tveit (October 9-10), offering audiences a rare opportunity to encounter one of Broadway's most in-demand performers in a setting defined by immediacy and connection.
