The leading star has promised something very special for theatregoers.

Redmayne told Graham Norton: “Jessie and I love the musical so decided to investigate it in a different way. It’s properly immersive for the audience, you really feel like you are in the Kit Kat Club in Berlin.”

Jessie added: “It’s been so fun, and the company is amazing, the director is amazing, and Eddie is alright!”

The Southwark Playhouse has been transformed into an in-the-round amphitheatre, recreating the decadent and exciting atmosphere of the mythical Kit Kat Club. Audience members are encouraged to come early to make the most of the pre-show entertainment, drinks and dining.

Unfortunately, one person who won’t be able to come is Redmayne’s gran, so he put on a special show for her.

He explained: “She is nearly 100 and not able to come and see the show, so I went to her care home with the karaoke version of the musical and performed the whole thing for her – even Jessie’s parts.  She definitely dropped off – she said she was closing her eyes because she was enjoying it so much!”

Cabaret is set in the troubled years as Nazism began to rise in Germany. At one outrageous Berlin club, all of society’s misfits seek sanctuary, joined by new American arrival Sally.

In this new production, the rest of the main cast is rounded out by Omari Douglas as ‘Cliff Bradshaw’, Liza Sadovy as ‘Fraulein Schneider’, Elliot Levey as ‘Herr Schultz’, Stewart Clarke as ‘Ernst Ludwig’ and Anna-Jane Casey as ‘Fraulein Kost’.

The Graham Norton Show – tonight on BBC One at 10.35pm
