Full casting has been announced for the upcoming UK Tour of Cabaret. Joining Will Young as the Emcee and Siobhan Dillon as Sally Bowles are Lyn Paul (Fraulein Schneider), Matt Rawle (Cliff), Linal Haft (Herr Schultz), Nicholas Tizzard (Ernst) and Varlerie Cutko (Fraulein Kost).

Following a successful West End run at the Savoy Theatre, the UK tour of Cabaret will open at the New Wimbledon Theatre on Wednesday 28th August.

Ever since winning the inaugural series of Pop Idol in 2002, Will Young has been one of the UK's most popular and successful music artists and holds the record for the fastest selling debut single in British chart history. Will has also enjoyed a successful acting career which saw him appear alongside Dame Judi Dench in the film Mrs Henderson Presents, and it is the combination of these talents which has led him to star in Cabaret.

Siobhan Dillon previously played Sally Bowles during the 2009 UK Tour of Cabaret. Siobhan was a popular finalist on the BBC's hit show How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? Following Maria, Siobhan won a record deal with Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group and also co-wrote and recorded an album for Universal Music. Last year she starred in the highly acclaimed UK tour of Can't Smile Without You, and recently she made her West End debut in Grease, both to rave reviews.

Since its Broadway premiere in 1966 and the renowned movie version with Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey, Cabaret has won a staggering number of stage and screen awards including 8 Oscars, 7 BAFTAs and 13 Tonys.

Set in 1931 Berlin as the Nazis are rising to power, Cabaret focuses on nightlife at the seedy Kit Kat Klub and revolves around the 19-year-old English cabaret performer Sally Bowles and her relationship with the young American writer Cliff Bradshaw.
