New Casting Unveiled for West End’s Smash-Hit Cabaret

Cabaret at London’s immersive Kit Kat Club has revealed its next line-up of stars as the multi-award-winning revival continues its record-setting run, now booking to March 2026.

Final weeks for Billy Porter and Marisha Wallace

Tony and Grammy winner Billy Porter (Emcee) and Olivier nominee Marisha Wallace (Sally Bowles) remain centre-stage until 24 May 2025, leading a company that includes Daniel Bowerbank (Clifford Bradshaw), Vivien Parry (Fraulein Schneider), Fenton Gray (Herr Schultz), Fred Haig (Ernst Ludwig) and Jessica Kirton (Fraulein Kost/Fritzie). Anne-Marie Wojna currently alternates as Sally at selected performances.

Hannah Dodd and Rob Madge step into the spotlight

From 29 May to 20 September 2025, Hannah Dodd (Bridgerton, Flowers in the Attic: The Origin) dons Sally Bowles’ iconic bowler hat, while My Son’s a Queer creator Rob Madge slips into the Emcee’s suspenders. Between 26 and 28 May, Wojna will play Sally and Damon Gould will cover the Emcee before the new principals begin.

Performance exceptions have been announced in advance: Dodd will be absent for a series of mid-week matinees and Thursday evenings across June to September, with Wojna covering. Madge is scheduled to take leave 9–16 June and 16 September, when Gould will assume the Master of Ceremonies.

Milestone gala night

The production will toast 1,500 performances at a special gala on Monday, 7 July 2025, marking another landmark for the hit revival that first opened in December 2021.

Creative team and prologue company

Director Rebecca Frecknall’s atmospheric staging is supported by Tom Scutt’s set and costumes, Julia Cheng’s choreography, and musical supervision from Jennifer Whyte. The pre-show “prologue” experience continues with artists including James Hastings, Dak Mashava, Nethra Menon, Oluwatosin Omotosho and Kristin Wei Wong welcoming patrons inside the re-imagined Playhouse Theatre.

Cabaret worldwide

While the London run shows no signs of slowing, the production’s New York counterpart is also drawing crowds, headlined by Eva Noblezada and country star Orville Peck.

With fresh faces arriving, milestone celebrations ahead, and tickets now on sale into 2026, the Kit Kat Club remains the hottest ticket in town—proving that life really is still “a cabaret, old chum.”
