They are closing the show instead of recasting him which just seems so damn strange, considering all the work they put into renovating the theater back into what it was before.

I assume it was a joke- Calling yourself Mama is something lots of gay guy refer to themselves as. Not just as a pet name, but i know Gay guys who have become fathers jokingly say "I'm gonna be a Mama". I doubt Nicole was saying he was a girl.
I mis-worded my own comment. I'm not ignorant like Nicole109 and I obviously know he's a man and would be a father, but what I was asking was if he was actually having a baby. Obviously not. Thanks for sparking a ridiculous and false discussion about whether Cumming is becoming a father.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
I'm sorry for not taking the joke. When you are reading text you can't really understand the semantics of how someone says something and I like Alan Cumming and was happy that he was becoming a father. If that happens it remains to be seen but either way I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Much respect, x.
It was considered a "limited engagement", and Alan Cumming's contract with the show will be up in March. Roundabout Theatre Company I'm sure has plans for the next show they'll put on at Studio 54. Making Cabaret a long-term show would prevent them from putting on other productions at Studio 54. If Cabaret was an independently produced show with no ties to a non-profit theatre company, it would go on as long as tickets are still selling. However, being that it is a Roundabout Theatre Company production, I understand why they've decided to end the engagement.
"Mostly, I loved the size of these people's emotions. Nobody has emotions this size anymore. Outsized emotions. Operatic emotions. Kushemski and Vanda are like Tristan and Isolde, they're Paolo and Francesca. Nobody's in total thrall like this anymore. Nobody's overcome by passion like this, or goes through this kind of rage." Thomas, Venus in Fur
