As the character’s name suggests, the Emcee (Randy Harrison) guides us through the story and subplots as narrator, chief entertainer and Greek Chorus. Harrison, best known for playing Justin on Showtime’s Queer as Folk, but with an impressive theater résumé of musicals and the masters of world drama, follows on the heels of memorable performances in this role by Joel Grey and Alan Cumming and more than holds his own. He’s thoroughly engaging, with sharp comic and improvisational timing and a commanding tenor. Along with the male and female Kit Kat dancers, he executes Rob Marshall’s original choreography beautifully.

Randy Harrison brings a youthful, brash and hyper-sexualized delivery to the Emcee. Sporting criss-crossed suspenders over a bare torso, he’s simultaneously a Greek chorus, shifting from performer to observer, and a court jester, whose sardonic wit will not save him from the rulers’ wrath forever.
