NEW YORK − In “Cabaret,” Eddie Redmayne plays the ultimate master of ceremonies: a puckish purveyor of loose morals and tight stockings in Jazz Age Berlin.
But when he’s not onstage at the August Wilson Theatre, which has been stunningly transformed into the decadent Kit Kat Club, the Oscar-winning actor says he has adopted "quite a monastic living." He and his co-star, Gayle Rankin, are texting around the clock on WhatsApp, feverishly trading intel on vitamin drips, throat-coat teas and Chinese medicines. Backstage, you’ll often find them sharing bottles of Gatorade and bags of Lay's potato chips (“The oil is very good for your throat!” Redmayne assures us)....

“Having something lay for a couple of years before returning to it… It’s a weird mixture of hoping that the character has been sat there, ruminating, but there’s extraordinary excitement to start afresh and re-approach when some of the groundwork has been established.” Eddie Redmayne is talking Cabaret, and specifically its new context. After his wildly successful run in London during a bizarre time (2021–22, the slipstream of the Covid era), the show is set to open the Kit Kat Club on Broadway this April, at the August Wilson Theatre. Unnerving and physical, with the actor really harnessing his body, Redmayne’s West End portrayal of the Emcee wowed audiences and critics, landing him an Olivier for Best Actor in a Musical.

Eddie Redmayne is getting ready to bring his Olivier-winning performance as The Emcee in Cabaret to Broadway. The starry revival begins performances at the Kit Kat Club (née August Wilson Theatre) April 1. Opening night has two parts, with a gala celebration set for April 20, and an official opening (including those all-important reviews) April 21.
And it turns out, Cabaret is the reason Redmayne is an actor at all.
"Cabaret, for me, was the one that made me want to be an actor, and The Emcee is one of the great characters of musical theatre," shares the Tony- and Olivier-winning stage and screen star. "You never know whether this character is grounded in a reality or floating in some puppet master place in the sky." See Redmayne speak more about the show and the role in the video above.
