Maude Apatow and Mason Alexander Park to star in CABARET AT THE KIT KAT CLUB
The producers of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club in London’s West End have announced that from 29 May, star of HBO’s Euphoria Maude Apatow will play Sally Bowles and star of NBC’s Quantum Leap and Netflix’s Sandman Mason Alexander Park will play The Emcee.
Also joining the cast are Beverley Klein (Candide, National Theatre) as Fraulein Schneider’ and Teddy Kempner (Caroline, or Change, West End) as ‘Herr Schultz’.
At certain performances, the role of Sally Bowles will be played by Emily Benjamin.
Maude Apatow said today “Playing Sally Bowles has always been a dream of mine, and I am so grateful to be joining such a spectacular production.”
Mason Alexander Park said today “I am so thrilled to be joining this remarkable production playing a role that has changed my life continuously over the years, in a show that is unfortunately more timely than ever. I remember being so moved by the show last year, and turning over my shoulder with tears in my eyes at the interval to see Maude Apatow perched behind me. Cut to a full calendar year from that performance, and we will be doing our first preview paired together as Emcee and Sally. To sing these songs and tell this story as a trans person in a time in which many of the themes of the show are slowly reentering the public consciousness, with politicians targeting my community and the communities at the center of this piece is a harrowing, exciting, and necessary challenge that I am so looking forward to taking on. Come to the Cabaret!”
The final performance for John McCrea as The Emcee and Aimee Lou Wood as Sally Bowles will be 27 May.
The cast also includes Nathan Ives Moiba as Cliff Bradshaw, Danny Mahoney as Ernst Ludwig and Michelle Bishop as Fraulein Kost. Completing the cast are Gabriela Benedetti, Emily Benjamin, Charles Croysdill, Laura Delany, Sally Frith, Matthew Gent, Ying Ue Li, Ela Lisondra, Chris O’Mara, Grant Neal, Hicaro Nicolai, Adam Taylor, Toby Turpin, Patrick Wilden and Sophie Maria Wojna.
The Prologue Company currently includes Rachel Benson, Ami Benton, Laura Braid, Reuben Greeph, James Hastings, Samantha Ho, Emma Holt, Liz Kamille, Andrew Linnie, Aine McLoughlin and Callum Sterling.
