The West End production of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club says "Willkommen" to Katie Hall and Matt Willis January 26, and Playbill has photos of the hit musical's new stars in the gallery below.
Hall (Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera) steps into the role of Sally Bowles, while actor, presenter, and Brit Award winner Willis (Wicked, Birds of a Feather, EastEnders, Love Is Blind) is the new Emcee. The duo succeed Broadway favorites and recently married couple Reeve Carney (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark) and Eva Noblezada (Miss Saigon), who played their final performances January 24 prior to their arrival in the Broadway production of The Great Gatsby.
Hall and Willis, who will continue through May 23, join a cast that includes Baker Mukasa as Clifford Bradshaw, Ruthie Henshall as Fraulein Schneider, Robert Hands as Herr Schultz, Lucas Koch as Ernst Ludwig, and Jessica Kirton as Fraulein Kost/Fritzie with Joe Atkinson, Xavion Campbell-Brown, Olivia-Rose Deer, Anya Ferdinand, Danny Fogarty, Adrian Grove, Ela Lisondra, Hícaro Nicolai, Andy Rees, Alexandra Regan, Manu Sarswat, Tom Scanlon, Eva-Rose Tanaka, Marina Tavolieri, and Lucy Young. (There are several performances in March Willis will not perform; at those shows the role of the Emcee will be played by Joe Atkinson.)
The hit production will also welcome new members to the Prologue Company beginning February 9, including Isobel Bates, Jonathan Charles, Shanelle Clemenson, Zara Liu, Brian James O’Sullivan, and Shiho Yokoyama, who will join Rachel Benson, Ami Benton, Andrew Linnie, Dak Mashava, and Jack William Parry.
On July 7, 2025, the hit production celebrated its 1,500th performance with a special gala night. Tickets are currently on sale through September 26.
