Historic ‘Willkommen’
Eddie Redmayne welcomes original Emcee Joel Grey to the Kit Kat Club NYC on his 92nd birthday, along with Cabaret composer John Kander.
Repost @susie_babani on IG: “best musical I’ve seen so far - Cabaret (which has always been a favourite of mine) currently in previews - partially transplanted from the London version I was meant to see back in December 2021 but the cast all got covid and the performance was cancelled - so I’ve had to wait a long time and cross an ocean to see #EddieRedmayne as the Emcee and #bebeneuwirth…It’s going to be a smash hit. But more surprises in store as #JoelGrey who starred in the movie was in the audience (it was his 92nd birthday today) and so was John Kander who wrote all the original music. Plus a fair bit of star spotting in the audience - Anderson Cooper, Molly Ringwald, Candace Bergen and I think Katie Couric (only got snaps of the latter two and the special guests).”
And a special treat:
