Billy Porter explains how playing the emcee in “Cabaret” was a long time coming for him


Tony winner Billy Porter paid a visit to The Graham Norton Show recently and shared his history with the role of the emcee in Cabaret. He wanted to play it on Broadway more than 20 years ago but couldn’t get producers to consider him any time during that production’s long run. Now that he’s a bigger star then ever, he was asked to play the role in London. He shares what his mom would say about the situation: “God’s delay is not denial!”
