Ever since Orville Peck was announced to take on the role of the Emcee in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club on Broadway, fans have been wondering if he will be donning his iconic face mask, something that has been part of his persona as an artist. Now, the performer has confirmed to The New York Times that the mask will not, in fact, be part of his Cabaret costume.
Fans have been eager to see Peck’s full face, which has not been revealed since his first album was released in 2019. He admits that he’s feeling “a little shook” about his maskless debut.
“The mask is part of my expression personally as an artist and a very big personal part of me,” Peck said. “But I’m here to play this role and to bring respect and integrity and hopefully a good performance to it. It’s not about me. I’m not trying to make it the Orville Peck show.”
