Adam Lambert, Auli’i Cravalho Star in Cabaret

Adam Lambert and Auli’i Cravalho will make their Broadway debuts as the Emcee and Sally Bowles in 'Cabaret' starting September 16, taking over from Tony-nominated actors Eddie Redmayne and Gayle Rankin, who conclude their performances on September 14. Lambert, known for his stint on 'American Idol' and his role in 'Bohemian Rhapsody', expressed his long-held dream to perform on Broadway, while Cravalho, famous for voicing Moana, shared her excitement about stepping into this iconic role. The revival, which explores themes of democracy's collapse in pre-WWII Germany, has been a hit in London and hopes to attract audiences in New York amidst mixed reviews. Lambert's previous stage experience includes a national tour of 'Wicked', and he recently released a new EP, 'Afters'. The show runs through March 30, 2025, with casting for future replacements to be announced next year. Both actors emphasize the relevance of the show's themes in today's sociopolitical climate.
