A decade ago, the Juilliard-trained Scottish actress Gayle Rankin starred in the 2014 revival of Cabaret[1] as Fräulein Kost, with Alan Cumming as the Emcee. This spring, she returns to the show in a new production as the show’s star, Sally Bowles, opposite Eddie Redmayne[2]. Eagerly awaited from London and directed by Rebecca Frecknall, this Cabaret[3] is as creepy as it is transfixing. “It’s devastating how relevant Cabaret is now,” says Rankin. How does she feel about returning to the New York boards in the same show? “It’s a big challenge,” she explains. “And I live for that challenge.”
