Who Played Swing in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club

Swing is a role in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, a musical that opened Broadway in 2024.

Willkommen. Bienvenue. Welcome to the Kit Kat Club- home to an intimate and electrifying new production of Cabaret. Experience this groundbreaking musical like never before. The denizens of the Kit Kat Club have created a decadent sanctuary inside Broadway’s August Wilson Theatre, where artists and performers, misfits and outsiders rule the night. Step inside their world. This is Berlin. Relax. Loosen up. Be yourself. What’s the show about? Set in the waning days of the Weimar Republic, Cabaret tells the story of Sally Bowles, a free-spirited singer at the Kit Kat Club, and Clifford Bradshaw, an American writer seeking inspiration in Berlin. As the enigmatic Emcee leads the audience through the cabaret's electrifying performances, the outside world grows increasingly dangerous, reflecting the personal and political tensions of the time. The result is a powerful exploration of love, identity, and the cost of complacency. Directed by Rebecca Frecknall, this revival transforms Broadway's August Wilson Theatre into an immersive, in-the-round venue, recreating the ambiance of a 1930s cabaret. With period-inspired costumes, evocative lighting, and a visceral staging concept, the production blurs the line between audience and performer, drawing you deep into the story. London’s hottest ticket arrived on Broadway in Spring 2024 with Academy and Tony Award winner Eddie Redmayne reprising his Olivier Award-winning performance as the Emcee, and introducing Gayle Rankin as the Toast of Mayfair, Sally Bowles. Both earned Tony nominations for their performances. Since then, Adam Lambert and Auliʻi Cravalho have taken over, bringing a fresh perspective to these iconic roles. Cabaret, which originally debuted on Broadway in 1966, has music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb and a book by Joe Masteroff – based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood. This marks the fourth Broadway revival of the beloved show. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Cabaret or experiencing it for the first time, this revival is a must-see. Step inside the Kit Kat Club, where every detail immerses you in a world of beauty and danger, and witness a production that is both exhilarating and hauntingly relevant.
