The West End staging of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club said "Willkommen" to Katie Hall and Matt Willis at the end of January, and the production has just released additional photos of the hit musical's new stars that can be seen in the gallery below.

Hall (Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera) stepped into the role of Sally Bowles, while actor, presenter, and Brit Award winner Willis (Wicked, Birds of a Feather, EastEnders, Love Is Blind) became the new Emcee. The duo succeeded 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.

Hall and Willis, who will continue through May 23, are part of 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 Willis will not perform this month; at those shows the role of the Emcee will be played by Joe Atkinson.)

The hit production will also welcomed new members to the Prologue Company February 9, including Isobel Bates, Jonathan Charles, Shanelle Clemenson, Zara Liu, Brian James O’Sullivan, and Shiho Yokoyama, who joined 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.
