Having wowed critics in Cabaret, Cara opens up about her pre-show rituals - and the advice Sienna Miller gave her. Read more on Grazia.
When it comes to making your West End debut, few roles could be more challenging than Sally Bowles in Cabaret - the dark, decadent musical set in the twilight of Berlin's Jazz Age, as the shadow of Nazism looms larger. Following in the footsteps of Jessie Buckley, Aimee Lou Wood and Maude Apatow, Cara joined the seven-time Olivier winning production at London's Kit Kat Club in March, opposite Luke Treadaway as the Emcee.
Had you seen any of the previous performances of Cabaret? Did you get advice from any of the previous actresses who played Sally? 'I saw both Aimee-Lou Wood and Maude Apatow in the role, and they were incredible. Before that I had also seen Sienna Miller do it in a previous production of Cabaret on Broadway. It’s so incredible how anyone can make the part so different, and I think that’s what is so special about this play, it’s the people that come in and how it changes. That was what was so exciting for me about taking this on.
'I spoke to Sienna a lot about it, she was one of the people who first said to me that I should play Sally one day, before I had even auditioned. She also came to my opening show, which was lovely. Maude is also a friend, so I spoke with her about it, and we’d been texting during the rehearsal process and the show. I think it was nice to have Maude having already done this production to tell me about the first week of rehearsals – I’ve never done a play before, so I had so many questions.
