Adam Lambert and Auli'i Cravalho will each make their Broadway debuts this September in the Tony Award-winning revival of the beloved Kander and Ebb musical, now open at the August Wilson Theatre in New York City.
The actors and singers will star in the roles of Emcee and Sally Bowles, respectively. They'll replace Eddie Redmayne and Gayle Rankin, both of whom received Tony nominations for originating the roles in the Rebecca Frecknall-directed production, which transferred after debuting in London's West End in 2021.
Redmayne, 42, and Rankin, 34, will play their final performance in Cabaret on Saturday, Sept. 14.
Lambert, 42, and Cravalho, 23, will begin in the show on Sept. 16. They're scheduled to play a limited engagement through Sunday, March 30, 2025.
Casting for their replacements after March 30 will be announced in the new year.

Both Lambert and Cravalho have had stage experience before, though not on the Great White Way.
"Growing up on the musical theater stage, it was always a childhood dream to perform on Broadway," said Lambert — who, prior to gaining national attention as the runner-up on season 8 of American Idol, was an ensemble member and Fiyero understudy in the North American touring production of Wicked. "With this production of Cabaret, it finally felt like the right time to accept an invitation to make my debut."
"The themes of this show have always resonated with me and given the current sociopolitical climate the world is in, feel eerily timely," he continued. "Eddie and Gayle have been a dream pairing and I’m looking forward to working with Auli’i to create our own magic. It is thrilling to be able to sink my teeth into this important story and collaborate with the rest of the talented artists in the cast and crew."
