Orville Peck will bare it all in the Kit Kat Club.
In January, the country star was announced as Adam Lambert‘s replacement as the Emcee in Cabaret at the KitKat Club, leaving fans wondering if he would be bringing his signature mask to the Broadway stage. And Orville officially revealed he’ll be leaving the mask behind.
“The mask is part of my expression personally as an artist and a very big personal part of me,” the singer told The New York Times in a profile published March 17. “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.”
On playing the role maskless, Orville (real name Daniel Pitout) continued, “The irony is that if I put my mask on, I’m suddenly not anonymous anymore. The weird part is for me to be anonymous. I just take my mask off and walk around like normal and then no one knows who I am.”
