The producers of the multi award-winning, critically acclaimed West End production of *Cabaret* at the [Kit Kat Club](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/kit-kat-club) have announced an exciting new cast, joining the show from 26 January 2026. West End favourite **Katie Hall** will take on the iconic role of Sally Bowles, while actor, presenter and Brit Award winner **Matt Willis** steps into the spotlight as the show’s magnetic Emcee. Both performers will appear in the production until Saturday 23 May 2026. **Katie Hall** returns to the West End following acclaimed performances as Fantine in Les Misérables for the show’s 40th anniversary, alongside major roles in *The Phantom of the Opera*, *Sweeney Todd*, *Oklahoma!* and *West Side Story*. **Matt Willis** brings extensive theatre experience from productions including *Wicked*, *Little Shop of Horrors*, *Waitress* and *Footloose*, alongside a high-profile television and music career.


They join an established cast led by **Baker Mukasa** as Clifford Bradshaw and **Ruthie Henshall** as Fraulein Schneider, alongside **Robert Hands, Lucas Koch** and **Jessica Kirton**. From 9 February 2026, new performers will also join the show’s immersive Prologue Company, further enriching the pre-show Kit Kat Club experience that has become a hallmark of this production. Currently booking until 26 September 2026, Cabaret has now passed its 1,500th performance, making it the longest-running production of the musical in West End history.
