I am so thrilled that this is finally official!!!! He is perfect for the role. Edgy and decadent, and, of course sexy as hell. Would love to take a trip to NYC and see the show. May, maybe. I think Adam will be a big draw. Hope so.

He won't win a Tony for this production, no matter how awesome he may be, because he's a replacement. Only a production's original actors are eligible for Tonys. I think there was a Tony category for replacement actors several years ago, but it didn't last long. They made one about 20 years ago, but the award was never awarded and then they did away with the category. the next year and never brought it back. From time to time there is discussion about it, but they have never gone ahead and done the category. Poor Leah Michele -- she brought Funny Girl back from the dead and in a hugely celebrated and praised performance....but no tony award for her -- and she unquestionably would have been nominated and likely won had she originated the role in the revival. |

Billboard (14.2M) www.billboard.com/music/music-news/adam-lambert-aulii-cravalho-cabaret-broadway-cast-1235738654/Adam Lambert & Auli’i Cravalho Will Make Their Broadway Debuts in ‘Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club’ The pair will say "Willkommen" to a new audience starting in September. By Stephen Daw On Wednesday (July 24), the production announced that pop singer Adam Lambert and Moana star Auli’i Cravalho will join the cast of Cabaret starting on Sept. 16. The “Whataya Want From Me” singer will take on the role of the enigmatic Emcee (currently played by Redmayne), while Cravalho will join as wannabe nightlife starlet Sally Bowles (currently portrayed by Rankin). “Growing up on the musical theater stage, it was always a childhood dream to perform on Broadway. With this production of Cabaret, it finally felt like the right time to accept an invitation to make my debut,” Lambert said in a statement released with the news. “The themes of this show have always resonated with me and given the current sociopolitical climate the world is in, feel eerily timely … I’m looking forward to working with Auli’i to create our own magic.” Cravalho agreed, adding, “I’m thrilled to join the long line of talented women who have taken on the iconic ‘Sally Bowles,’ most recently, the woman I watched with notebook and pen in hand, the dynamite Gayle Rankin. To join a show with so much history – and such a stellar cast and crew – means it’s quite literally an honor to get my butt kicked each week.” This won’t be Lambert’s first time taking on a theatrical role. Before gaining widespread acclaim from his run on season eight of American Idol, the singer performed in the touring ensemble of Wicked in 2005, and eventually went on to play as the understudy to the romantic lead Fiyero in February 2007 Los Angeles production of the show. more www.billboard.com/music/music-news/adam-lambert-aulii-cravalho-cabaret-broadway-cast-1235738654/ |
