As previously announced, Adam Lambert and Auli‘i Cravalho are scheduled to play their final performances in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club on March 29. Country music star Orville Peck and Tony award nominee Eva Noblezada will officially take on the roles of Emcee and Sally Bowles at the August Wilson Theatre starting March 31 for a limited, 16-week engagement that will wrap up on July 20.
"The Emcee has been my dream role since I was a teenager," the music icon said in an official statement. "The nature of the character allows for complete freedom of individual expression. It can be portrayed through such a vast range of emotions, perspectives, and performance styles. That kind of freedom is every actor's dream. I truly cannot believe I’m getting to make my Broadway debut in one of my favorite shows and in probably my favorite role in all of musical theater."

Although this marks Peck's Broadway debut, the artist was actually trained as an actor at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. He even appeared in an Olivier award-nominated play on London's West End a while back.
Noblezada, on the other hand, is wrapping up her run as Daisy Buchanan in the hit show The Great Gatsby. She's then scheduled to join the West End production of Hadestown before joining Peck on the Cabaret stage.
"While studying musical theater in school, Cabaret always stood out," the actress said in an official statement. "I was, and am, amazed by the lineage of theater royalty who have been in the show. And Sally Bowles to me is simply… fascinating. She is like a totally conscious child who is also completely unhinged. Almost clownish. But real and raw and in your face. And that character amidst and against that backdrop of such an evil reality is painfully surreal. I am totally psyched to start learning more."
