Willkommen! Hani Furstenberg to Take Over From Gayle Rankin in Cabaret on Broadway

Hani Furstenberg is coming to the Cabaret! She will make her Broadway debut on December 22 in the role of Fraulein Kost, replacing Gayle Rankin. Rankin will play her final performance in the Roundabout revival on December 21. The musical will play through March 29, 2015.

Furstenberg’s screen credits include The Loneliest Planet, Yossi & Jagger and Campfire. She will be joining Alan Cumming, Emma Stone, Linda Emond, Bill Heck and Aaron Krohn in the production.

Cabaret marks the return of director Sam Mendes and co-director/choreographer Rob Marshall, who have recreated their Tony Award-nominated direction and choreography of the 1998 production. Studio 54 is transformed into the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy 1930s Berlin nightclub where a young English cabaret performer (Stone) encounters an American writer (Heck), under the watchful eye of a zealous Master of Ceremonies (Cumming). The John Kander and Fred Ebb musical features such iconic tunes as "Willkommen," "Don't Tell Mama," "Maybe This Time," and "Cabaret."
