Synopsis
Based on the play by John van Druten and the original stories by Christopher Isherwood. Set in late thirties Berlin. Cabaret first came to the stage in New York in 1966 and became a hit film with Liza Minnelli and Michael York in 1972. The story tells of American cabaret singer Sally Bowles, impoverished writer Cliff Bradshaw and their friends Frauline Schneider and Herr Schultz along with a host of divinely decadent characters whose lives are described by the Emcee. Their dreams for the future are finally shattered as their lives are inexorably drawn towards the horrors of World War II.
Michelle Ryan stars as Sally Bowles with Will Young as Emcee.
Since winning the first series of ITV’s reality television competition Pop Idol, Will Young has received two Brit Awards and released six albums. His chart-topping singles include Leave Right Now, Friday’s Child, Light My Fire and Evergreen. He made his professional acting debut on screen - alongside Judi Dench, Bob Hoskins and Kelly Reilly - in Mrs Henderson Presents and his professional stage debut in The Vortex at Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre in 2007.
Michelle Ryan is best known for her role as Zoe Slater on BBC1's EastEnders but also starred in the U.S. TV series Bionic Woman, on the BBC's Merlin, and Doctor Who. On stage, Michelle Ryan appeared in the 2005 run of Who's the Daddy? at King's Head Theatre and in 2010 she starred in The Talented Mr. Ripley at the Royal Theatre in Northampton.

Rufus Norris' revival of his 2006 production of Cabaret provides a welcome opportunity to catch this award-winning staging for those of us who missed it first time round.
It's a dark, jagged and ultimately harrowing production that brings some welcome shade to a West End overrun with the lightness of 'enforced standing ovation' jukebox fare.
The restaging also offers the opportunity for Will Young and Michelle Ryan to make their musical theatre debuts. Young excels as the Emcee, all cheeky grins one minute and forlorn glances the next. His audience repartee could be cranked up a notch, but he sings superbly, the riotously choreographed "Two Ladies" a stand-out.
Ryan struggles to lend Bowles the darker edge necessary as the show progresses, but proves an excellent dancer and a more than capable vocalist (her clipped tones about as far removed from Zoe Slater as you could imagine).
Not everything works; the notoriously difficult "If You C...
