Orville Peck has ushered in his upcoming Cabaret era with a shirtless selfie. In January, it was announced that the ‘Happy Trails’ singer would be making his Broadway debut in the beloved musical, taking over the role of the iconic character and Master of Ceremonies from Adam Lambert.
Peck told Variety: “I grew up as an actor and doing theater and for a lot of people, this is a really coveted role in musical theater because it’s so open to interpretation and an incredible character.
This was always a dream role of mine when I was a young actor.” The country music star also teased that “people will have to buy a ticket to find out” whether or not he will don his signature fringe mask.
While his 16-week engagement as the Emcee doesn’t kick off until 31 March, Peck gave fans a sneak peek into his preparation for the role with a cheeky Instagram post.
