Orville Peck Unmasks for Broadway's 'Cabaret' Debut

Country singer Orville Peck will perform without his signature mask for the first time in his Broadway debut as the Emcee in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, starting March 31. Known for his mysterious persona, Peck has concealed his face since his 2019 debut but chose to unmask for this role to bring respect and integrity to the performance, emphasizing that it isn't about him but the character. He replaces Adam Lambert and will feature alongside Tony-nominated Eva Noblezada as Sally Bowles. Despite his initial apprehension, he expressed that Cabaret is his favorite musical and a dream role for him, citing his theater background and the show's timely themes. His portrayal is expected to bring a unique punk-inspired energy to the character, adding a fresh take to the production.
