Today we are talking to two titanically talented triple-threats all about their headlining roles in the edgy and daring new production of the classic Kander & Ebb musical CABARET at the Signature Theatre in Washington, D.C., Wesley Taylor and Barrett Wilbert Weed. Outlining their first exposure to the material all the way to performing the showstopper roles of the Emcee and Sally Bowles, respectively, eight times a week, Taylor and Weed share their thoughts on the enduring legacy of the monumental musical masterpiece as well as offer their thoughts on what the piece has to say to a modern audience. Additionally, they touch upon their palpable rapport and compliment each other's work on the show as well as much, much more!
