Miscast Cabaret

What Is Miscast Cabaret?

We actors all have those roles we love, but will never have the chance to perform onstage – whether because we are of a different gender, too old, a different race, or have different physical characteristics. But it doesn't mean we haven't dreamed of what it would be like to get a crack at it – just once! Well, here's your chance to hear us present the dream roles we will never perform in a staged production!

Miscast Cabaret is a one-night event featuring RHS students performing songs from roles they would never be cast in. Changing the roles can alter the dynamic or meaning of a song, which creates a new perspective for the audience. The results are sometimes thought-provoking, other times hilarious. Maybe you’ll see a female Gaston or a male Eliza Hamilton. A Caucasian person singing Breathe from In the Heights or a near-adult singing Naughty from Matilda. Join us for this entertaining mix-up of your favorite Broadway songs.
