Amanda Palmer: playing the Emcee in "Cabaret", on tour with Evelyn Evelyn

It makes sense that Amanda Palmer crosses of over to the theatrical stage to play the Emcee in a staging of Cabaret, the legendary 1966 Broadway musical set in Germany during on the brink of the Nazi power surge. It became an ever bigger hit when it was adapted for the big screen in 1972.

"Amanda Palmer will be starring in the American Repertory Theater’s production of Cabaret beginning in August. The legendary play will be staged by the A.R.T. at their theatrical club space, OBERON. Steven Bogart will direct the play with Amanda starring the Emcee of the Kit Kat Klub. Amanda said, “I’m over the moon about being able to use OBERON as an artistic playground this fall…and this project is long-time dream-collision of working on Cabaret and working with Steven Bogart, whose directing genius will finally find the audience it deserves."

The production opens August 31. Catch Amanda on the road with Jason Webley performing their Evelyn Evelyn project.
