" Michelle Williams has signed up to star in a revival production of Cabaret. The Brokeback Mountain actress will make her Broadway debut in the new version of the musical by the Roundabout Theatre Company.   Williams replaces Emma Stone in the play, who has withdrawn due to scheduling conflicts. She will play Sally Bowles, the role played most famously by Liza Minnelli. Alan Cumming will reprise his 1998 appearance as the Master of Ceremonies. Sam Mendes and Rob Marshall also return from the 1998 production as directors, with Marshall also choreographing. Previews launch on March 21, 2014, with an opening scheduled for April 24 at the Roundabout&amp;#039;s Studio 54 theatre on Broadway. Cabaret ran for over 2,000 performances from 1998 to 2004 at the same theatre, winning a Tony Award in 1998 for best musical revival. The original play opened in 1966, and spawned a hugely successful film version in 1972, which won eight Oscars. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
