THE multi-award winning West End production of Cabaret, with a star cast including world-renowned dancer Wayne Sleep and, from BBC's I'd Do Anything, Samantha Barks, arrives at The Mayflower next year.
Samantha, the hugely popular finalist from the hit BBC series, has been cast in the prestigious role of Sally Bowles for the forthcoming UK tour of Cabaret. She will be the first of the Nancy finalists to perform in a major role following the TV show.
She joins a cast which includes TV favourite Wayne Sleep, who reprises the role of Emcee.
Samantha said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to get this part. Cabaret is one of my favourite shows ever and Sally Bowles is such a great part to play. Having met Liza Minnelli during the filming of I'd Do Anything I'm beside myself with excitement."
The stage show premiered on Broadway in 1966 and spawned a movie version starring Liza Minnelli.
Cabaret has won a staggering number of stage and screen awards, including eight Oscars, seven Baftas and 13 Tonys.

The double Olivier Award winner and Variety Club Awards' Best Musical turns Weimar Berlin of 1931 into a sassy, sizzling haven of decadence.
At its heart is the legendary Sally Bowles, who performs nightly at the infamous Kit Kat Klub.
From the creators of the hit musical Chicago, Cabaret features show-stopping choreography, dazzling costumes and some of the most iconic songs in musical theatre including Mein Herr, Maybe This Time and, of course, Cabaret.
Tickets for the show, which runs from February 9 to 14, are on sale from 023 8071 1811 or online at mayflower.org.uk
