Sex Education star Aimee Lou Wood has landed herself a new role, joining the cast of Cabaret in London's West End.
The actress, who has also appeared in The Electrical Life of Louis Wain and Living, will be playing Sally Bowles between February 13 and May 27, 2023. Everybody's Talking About Jamie star John McCrea joins as The Emcee on the same dates.
A short video has been released showing the pair all made up and in costume, to give you an idea of how they'll look.
But that's not at all! Tickets to see the pair in the show, which takes place in the Kit Kat Club at The Playhouse Theatre, are available to buy now, starting from £30.
You can get tickets from ATG Tickets, LOVEtheatre and London Theatre Direct.
In an interview with Deadline about the show, Aimee explained that she used to get intense shyness and nerves that stopped her performing, until she sang 'Maybe This Time' from Cabaret at an audition and got the role, starting her career.
"The fact that 'Maybe This Time' was my first ever audition, and now I’m going to sing it in the West End is kind of mad," she said.

"When I got this thing through, so many people were like saying that in terms of career progression, it isn’t a great choice because you want to keep yourself free for a big movie or something
"But I’ve got an amazing agent, and she was like, 'Aimee, this is your dream part. You’ve said you wanted to play Sally Bowles since you were 11. Do it. Do it. It’s for you.' I want to play Sally Bowles and I want to be stretched by it, stretched out in my comfort zone. I want to feel like a different person when I finish this job because that’s what I want to do with my life.
"I don’t want to be thinking constantly about the next right step on the ladder, because there is no bloody ladder. It’s all imagined anyway."
Sex Education seasons 1-3 are streaming on Netflix. Season 4 is currently in production.
