Leave Your Troubles Outside! Cabaret Opens On Broadway with Alan Cumming & Michelle Williams

"Come hear the music play" once more at Studio 54! Roundabout's revival of John Kander and Fred Ebb's Cabaret opens officially on April 24, the last Broadway show to do so in the 2013-14 season. Director Sam Mendes and co-director/choreographer Rob Marshall have recreated their Tony nominated direction and choreography of the 1998 production, with Alan Cumming reprising his Tony-winning role as the Emcee and Oscar nominee Michelle Williams making her Broadway debut as Sally Bowles.

In honor of the show's Great White Way return, Broadway.com resident artist Justin "Squigs" Robertson penned the above portrait. The whole cast is represented in the sketch, with the foreground depicting, from left to right, Linda Emond as Fraulein Schneider, Danny Burstein as Herr Schultz, Cumming as the Emcee, Aaron Krohn as Ernst Ludwig, Bill Heck as Clifford Bradshaw and Williams as Sally Bowles.

Broadway.com wishes Cumming, Williams and all the Kit Kat Klub's usual suspects a “perfectly marvelous” opening!



About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
