They are joined by Sian Phillips playing Fraulein Schneider (a role for which Sheila Hancock won an Olivier Award in Norris’ 2006 revival), Harriet Thorpe (who reprises her role as Fraulein Kost in Norris’ original production) and Matt Rawle playing young American writer Cliff Bradshaw.

Since winning Pop Idol in 2002 Will Young has sold over 9 million albums, appeared with Dame Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins in the film Mrs Henderson Presents and made his professional theatre debut in Noel Coward’s The Vortex at the Manchester Royal Exchange.
Michelle Ryan is probably best known as Zoe Slater in EastEnders. She starred in the short lived American television series Bionic Woman and has appeared as the evil sorceress Nimueh in the BBC TV series Merlin and as Lady Christina de Souza in the Doctor Who episode "Planet of the Dead"
The musical tale of 19-year-old English cabaret star Sally Bowles and her relationship with the young writer during the Nazis' rise to power in 1931 Berlin will play at the Savoy theatre for a 15-week run from 3rd October.
Featuring music by John Kander and Fred Ebb, including songs Money Makes The World Go Around, Two Ladies and Maybe This Time, Cabaret turns Weimar Berlin of 1931 into a sassy, sizzling haven of decadence with the notorious Emcee and sassy Sally Bowles, who perform nightly at the infamous Kit Kat Klub. It has some show-stopping choreography, dazzling costumes and some of the most iconic songs including Money Makes The World Go Round, Maybe This Time and of Cabaret.
Since its Broadway premiere in 1966 and the famous movie version with Liza Minnelli and Oscar winner Joel Grey, Cabaret has won 8 Oscars, 7 BAFTAs and 13 Tony Awards.
