Harris will play Fraulein Schneider in the forthcoming tour, alongside Kara Lily Hayworth as Sally Bowles and John Partridge as Emcee.

This production of Kander and Ebb's musical has choreography by Javier de Frutos and will be directed by Rufus Norris.

The iconic musical features songs including Money Makes the World Go Round, Maybe This Time and Two Ladies.

Set in 1930s Germany, it charts the rise of fascism alongside the artistic outburst in Berlin.
