Neuwirth and Skybell will play Fraulein Schneider and Herr Schultz, with performances to begin April 2024.

Neuwirth has worked with Kander and Ebb for decades. Her performance as the first Velma Kelly in the still-running Broadway revival of Chicago earned Neuwirth a second Tony (the first she received for Sweet Charity). Neuwirth went on to star as Roxie Hart and Matron "Mama" Morton in subsequent runs in the show, making her the only actor (so far) to play all three roles. Neuwirth's multitude of stage credits also includes a West End run as Aurora in Kander and Ebb's Kiss of the Spider Woman.

Skybell starred as Tevye in the Joel Grey-helmed Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish Off-Broadway, for which he received a 2019 Lucille Lortel Award. Skybell's additional Broadway credits include Pal Joey, Wicked, and The Full Monty.

As previously reported, Eddie Redmayne will reprise his London performance as The Emcee on Broadway, Gayle Rankin will star as Sally Bowles, and Ato Blankson-Wood will play Cliff. Additional casting is to be announced.
