Character Study: Randy Harrison Transforms Into the Emcee Backstage at the CABARET Tour

[@deldee]

This man never ages.

[@charlottedeacon6031]

deldee I can’t believe he’s 41 on the 2nd of November! X

One of the best reprises of this role since Alan. Funny thing, when he was in Cincinnati, I was with my girlfriend at Starbucks down the block from the theater where we would be seeing the show. My girlfriend, who saw the show a few days prior, noticed him walking down the street and approaching us. She said to him "Uhh, aren't you in Cabaret?" and he replied with "Yes I am haha, but I'm late to my calltime." He got his coffee and quickly left without saying much. It wasn't until after he walked away did my girlfriend then say he was the Emcee. So yes, he is very shy in person, but put on the most breathtaking role.

I absolutely adore this man. I saw him live at the hippodrome theatre in Baltimore and I fell in love with his performance (especially "I Don't Care Much"). He is an incredible actor, singer, dancer, and performer in general, and the rest of the cast and show itself just blew me away. I looked him up after and watched Queer As Folk and fell in love with him all over again (not literally of course but still). please please watch this production if you like the show or are interested in it, I highly recommend it because it is just an absolutely phenomenal production.

[@ethanners6605]

Saw it at the hippodrome too! Great show

[@tillyboos]

He was a PHENOMENAL Emcee! He, Alan Cumming and John Stamos were my three favorites in the Roundabout Theater's production. Saw Randy on tour in San Francisco back in July and was TRULY impressed.

[@alexm8222]

Met him after seeing the show in San Francisco recently and he's a complete doll - he commits so much to his performance and off stage he's so mild mannered and sweet. it makes me happy to see him succeeding in this role!

[@Novinsld]

I absolutely love this production!! The role was made for him to play. He is fantastic. With the grueling work and travel schedule he dazzles the audience with his stage presence. He puts 100% of his energy into this character and show every night. Can't wait to see it again!

[@bibiherz]

I saw him in Boston, two weeks ago. And I loved it. Randy is so talented. He definitely made this character his own. His voice and his staging was AMAZING. Goosebumps with " I don't care much" and a lots of laughs with "Two ladies". Great work of all cast and crew. The entire production was brilliant.

[@sophkarps8246]

I literally saw him in Cabaret yesterday in Toronto! he was amazing!

[@jonnyfrmtheblck]

Sunshine :)

[@deannascozycorner]

I always love watching these character studies!

[@madelinedesautels4314]

I LOVE RANDY HARRISON SO MUCH! I just saw him as the emcee and he was absolutely amazing, he really put his own spin on the character, he was wonderful as the emcee and I believe he gave as brilliant of a performance as Allan Cumming. Great job!!!

[@qwertytwerq]

I watched QAF about a year ago and loved it, then recently discovered Cabaret. This was a welcome suprise.

[@maddiebutera8177]

I just saw the show truly amazing, I was completely awestruck!

[@ronistonecipher506]

Ageless and so damned talented.

[@raderin]

Just saw this tour a couple weeks ago and was blown away by his performance. The entire production was great, but he was especially phenomenal in this role!

[@madisonrendall7515]

Randy Harrison was FANTASTIC! I saw him first in Houston, loved it so much, that I went to New Orleans to see him again!

[@giannabermeo6566]

I just saw him at the Pantages and my goodness he was absolutely fantastic! the entire production was amazing such great work by everyone!

[@sankolmiyo]

Randy plays such a polished and perfect MC! Dare I say, a performance to rival Alan's!

[@singsing2565]

this man!!! talented beautiful cute handsome amazing 😍😍😍

[@harrietamidala1691]

I just saw Cabaret last week at the Sergerstrom theater in Orange County--you and the rest of the Cabaret cast did an excellent job. The final scene still haunts me.

[@sparklegirl2669]

Omg I saw this today in San Francisco and Randy was amazing

[@jennyplatinum5276]

Totally ADORABLE randy!! he could like my best friend!! I met him IN NYC about month and half ago, and still want more....Meaning to talk to him about..... I can get him out of his "shy" ways, by making him feel comfortable, with my openness and fun personality....There is so much I want to know about him and ask. I want to know when and where he is next to support him in all ways possible. Great job Justin!!! Miss you also on QAF!!!

[@sharonmitchell9064]

I cannot believe the pure talent of this Man - he never ages does he ? A real showman :-) A great Actor and Singer, I just wanna know what his secret is as I'm in my late forties and he aint that far behind LOL

[@kimberlykoumbiadis3178]

Always making Brian proud!

[@mlee6050]

Yes and I am so surprised “I am way more shy in real life” what even after being Justin? Was sad to see that who was with like decade or so ago left

[@LaurenLaass]

His voice sounds a lot like Jonathan Groff.

[@lilianaghinimartinez5966]

Talento EXTRAORDINARIO

[@sarahliming552]

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nataliekitchin7436]

Yassss randy👏👏slay

[@srimurty1135]

Love u randy😙😚

[@bogenhanf452]

This is so awesome. I heard that before from a friend, that she is shy but can deal with it while being on stage. How do people get over this tensed situation, while being on stage and perform? I remember everything clearly, whilr playing an instrument back in the day. It was SO tough because everyone was focused on you and your doing. How do people overcome this? This is such a miracle to me.

[@macrent2]

I think that it is because when you are on stage and inhabiting a role, it is liberating. I also believe that it could be because unlike "real life" encounters and social interactions, the theatre is rehearsed, and everything has an order and predictability.

[@singertobe13]

awwww look at Justin all grown up!!!

[@harrietamidala1691]

I hadn't realize the Emcee was played by Justin until I looked up the actor's filmography.

[@Metallichick20]

Yay!! Love this!

[@SierenH]

I wish he would come back down to do some plays here. since I can't travel, I don't get to see him that much

[@tomgray7049]

Awesome

[@marcoral7794]

I loved him in the role ! I would also love seeing Darren criss play Emcee

[@joshuahoward6845]

I’ve really only seen him in QAF and seeing him with dark hair I didn’t recognize him until I heard him speaking

[@vanessallanos5265]

My pretty sunshine 💜💜

[@TheLovedogs4ever]

[@mayaharrison3138]

[@amazinggrace5692]

Are the orange needles by his ear for acupuncture?

[@michelraphael7631]

Justin

[@lanny7303]

What happened to Randy's beautiful blonde hair?

[@wonchudan]

it transformed into his beautiful brown hair

[@lanny7303]

brenna allen I like both

[@wonchudan]

+Erika Marx me too :)

[@cailinelise6879]

Do Brandon Uranowitz becoming the Emcee!!

[@spasticpug5209]

Did I just see him Adding mascara To false lashes

[@ronjon-ps2xj]

Spastic pug yeah, putting on mascara afterwards helps blend the real with the false and make it look better and more natural

[@WolfclawWilson-ir4te]

I want him to be my brother

[@MuseDuCafe]

I'm sure he's fine performer, but showing makeup being applied is but a tiny part of what we see when an actor 'transforms,' and this clip shows zip-nada of that...

[@gavincampbell8037]

1st

[@johnwalters978]

IDK, was the character written as a drag queen?

[@brianeduardo1234]

much more handsome than Mr. Cumming
