Oscar nominee Michelle Williams ("My Week with Marilyn," "Blue Valentine," "Brokeback Mountain") makes her Broadway debut as nightclub singer Sally Bowles in the Roundabout Theatre Company production, which features Cumming repeating his award-winning performance as the Emcee.
Cumming and Williams are joined by two-time Tony nominee Linda Emond (Death of a Salesman, Life x 3) as Fraulein Schneider, four-time Tony nominee Danny Burstein (Golden Boy, Follies, South Pacific, The Drowsy Chaperone) as Herr Schultz, Drama Desk Award nominee Bill Heck (Orphan's Home Cycle, Angels in America, The Merchant of Venice) as Cliff, Aaron Krohn (Macbeth, The Farnsworth Invention, The Coast of Utopia, Julius Caesar, Henry IV, The Invention of Love) as Ernst and Gayle Rankin (The Illusion, Tribes) as Fraulein Kost.
Academy Award winner Mendes (director) and Academy Award nominee Marshall (co-director/choreographer), who were Tony-nominated for their work on the 1998 production, return to recreate their direction and choreography from the 1998 Tony Award-winning production. Once again, they convert Studio 54 into the gritty Kit Kat Klub, with cabaret-type seating as well as traditional theatre seating, to recreate the environment of the notorious pre-war Berlin nightclub.
