Adam Lambert, known for his electrifying rock performances and stint with Queen, is stepping into uncharted territory with his Broadway debut in the iconic musical 'Cabaret'. The role of the Emcee represents a significant artistic challenge for the singer, pushing him beyond his musical comfort zone.
Lambert's interpretation of the provocative, boundary-pushing Emcee promises to bring a fresh, contemporary energy to the classic Kander and Ebb musical.

- Translating musical performance skills to stage acting
- Honoring the musical's historical context
Lambert's transition from rock stages to Broadway represents a significant artistic evolution, demonstrating his versatility as a performer and his willingness to challenge himself creatively.
