Cara Delevingne and Luke Treadaway have been confirmed as the new stars of Cabaret in the West End.

From 11 March 2024, the iconic character of Sally Bowles will be brought to life by Cara Delevingne, marking her stage debut, while the Olivier Award-winning actor Luke Treadaway will step into the shoes of The Emcee.

The pair are set to join the production until 1 June 2024, with the show now booking through to February 2025.

Cara Delevingne said: “There are no words to explain the excitement I have to return home to make my stage debut in such an iconic role. I am so inspired by the brilliant actors who have played Sally in past productions around the world and in this one in the West End. I cannot wait to be a part of this brilliant cast and production.”

Luke Treadaway added: “I can’t wait to become a member of the Kit Kat Club and join this extraordinary production. It’s a huge thrill to be asked to take this on and I’m very excited to get started.”
