Orville Peck to Go Mask Off for Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club

To quote Future, “Mask off.” Orville Peck will debut as the Emcee in the current Broadway production of Cabaret on March 31, answering the question amateur dramaturges everywhere want to know: Does the mask stay on? “The mask is part of my expression personally as an artist and a very big personal part of me,” Peck told the New York Times on March 17. “But I’m here to play this role and to bring respect and integrity and hopefully a good performance to it. It’s not about me. I’m not trying to make it the Orville Peck show.” Peck has been building up mystique since he released his first song, “Big Sky,” in 2018.

“I wouldn’t have necessarily done this for just anything,” Peck told the Times when explaining why he was willing to give up the mystery of his upper visage. “But this is probably my favorite musical of all time.” Worth the emaskulation.
