Orville Peck Dazzles Broadway in Bold NewCabaretRevival
So, let’s talk about something absolutely electric happening on Broadway right now — Orville Peck has officially made his theatrical debut, and not just anywhere, but in Cabaret , one of the most iconic and haunting musicals of all time. The moment he stepped into the role of The Emcee at the newly transformed Kit Kat Club (formerly the August Wilson Theatre), it was clear something special was taking place.
Peck, the enigmatic and mysterious masked country artist, has gone completely maskless for the first time on a public stage — and that alone makes this performance a powerful statement. He joins the ever-radiant Eva Noblezada, who’s stepping into the high-heeled shoes of Sally Bowles. Both took over on March 31, replacing Adam Lambert and Auli’i Cravalho, and the shift in energy has been nothing short of magnetic.
Photos from the production have started circulating, and they offer a first glimpse of the smoky, immersive world this revival has created. The Kit Kat Club has been transformed into a gritty, in-the-round experience that begins a full 75 minutes before the curtain rises. Yes, there’s a pre-show. Yes, it’s wild. And yes, some ticket tiers even include a full dinner as part of the experience. The vibe is full-on Weimar decadence — sultry, surreal, and immersive.

What’s wild is that Orville Peck, known for keeping his face hidden and his public persona guarded, is now baring his soul — and his face — night after night in a role that demands raw vulnerability. In interviews, he’s admitted that stepping into this role was "really scary." But judging by audience reactions and those striking new photos, he’s embracing every inch of it.
Eva Noblezada is no stranger to the stage, and in this revival, she’s bringing a defiant edge to Sally Bowles that’s both tragic and empowering. Her chemistry with Peck is electric — there's tension, longing, and that eerie undertone of a world unraveling. The cast around them, including Calvin Leon Smith, Steven Skybell, and Michelle Aravena, rounds out a production that feels like it’s not just telling a story, but dragging you into it, drink in hand, music pulsing through your chest.
What makes this Cabaret revival hit differently is its celebration of queer identity and personal liberation. Designer Tom Scutt has reimagined the set and costumes to feel more intimate, edgy, and unfiltered — it’s a world where nothing is hidden anymore, especially not pain or truth.
For Orville Peck, this is more than a debut. It’s a revelation. And for Broadway? This Cabaret is the must-see event of the season.
