Interview: Why Orville Peck is Unmasking for Cabaret

For years, Orville Peck’s signature fringed mask has been part of his identity. His voice, deep, haunting, and unmistakable, has captivated audiences, but his face has remained a mystery. That is, until now.

With his Broadway debut in Cabaret, Peck is making a bold choice: he's unmasking. "I wouldn't do it for just anything," he explained. "Cabaret means so much to me. I have such respect for theater, and I knew it wasn’t about me, it was about the story."

The decision to reveal his face is not just a publicity stunt. The choice aligns with the

themes of the show itself. Cabaret is about transformation, self-discovery, and the masks we wear. "Live theater is about being present," Peck said. "It can't be captured, it can't be recreated, it can't be kept. It's a moment."

Fans will still see glimpses of the mask in promotional material, but the full reveal is reserved for the Kit Kat Club audience. It's a theatrical statement, one that makes this production of Cabaret even more unmissable.
