Broadway Newcomer Hani Furstenberg Steps into Cabaret

The Broadway production of Cabaret bids Hani Furstenberg “Willkommen” on December 22. The performer makes her Broadway debut in the Kander and Ebb musical at Studio 54, stepping into the role of Fraulein Kost. She replaces Gayle Rankin in the tuner, which is scheduled to play through March 29, 2015.

Furstenberg’s screen credits include The Loneliest Planet, Yossi & Jagger and Campfire. She joins a cast that includes Alan Cumming, Emma Stone, Linda Emond, Bill Heck and Aaron Krohn.

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).
