Ellen Harvey to join 'Cabaret' Broadway cast

The actress will replace Tony Award-nominated original cast member Bebe Neuwirth, who will play her final performance in the musical revival in March.

Willkommen! Ellen Harvey will join the cast of Cabaret on Broadway this spring, playing her first performance at the Kit Kat Club at the August Wilson Theatre on March 31.

Harvey's most recent Broadway credits include Present Laughter, opposite Kevin Kline, and How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, alongside Daniel Radcliffe. In Cabaret, she will play Fraulein Schneider, replacing Tony Award-nominated original cast member Bebe Neuwirth, who plays her final performance March 29.

As previously announced, joining the cast alongside Harvey will be Orville Peck as the Emcee and Eva Noblezada as Sally Bowles. Current cast members continuing with the production include Calvin Leon Smith as Clifford Bradshaw, Steven Skybell as Herr Schultz, Henry Gottfried as Ernst Ludwig, and Michelle Aravena as Fritzie/Kost.

The second-year company of Cabaret also features Gabi Campo as Frenchie, Jada Simone Clark as Helga, Colin Cunliffe as Hans, Marty Lauter as Victor, David Merino as Lulu, Julian Ramos as Bobby, MiMi Scardulla as Texas, Paige Smallwood as Rosie, and Price Waldman as Herman/Max. Maya Bowles, Pedro Garza, Christian Kidd, Corinne Munsch, Chloé Nadon-Enriquez, and Karl Skyler Urban complete the cast as swings.

The classic John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Joe Masteroff musical Cabaret is set at the hedonistic Kit Kat Club in 1930s Berlin, which slowly morphs from an escapist haven into a den of Nazism as the party comes to power. The semi-immersive revival transforms the August Wilson Theatre into the club with Tony Award-winning production design by Tom Scutt.
