Emcee is a character from the current 2024 Broadway adaptation of Cabaret, and is played by Eddie Redmayne. Emcee is the sort of narrator in the story, and is the Master of Ceremonies at the Kit Kat Club, set in 1930s Berlin.

To dress like Emcee, start with a cream or white crochet sleeveless top. Tuck this into maroon wide leg pants that you can cut off and hem if possible at the knee. Over this, wear a maroon waist belt to give it a more high-waisted look like the original costume. If the bow portion of both the pants and belt get in the way, cut off the excess on the pants and tuck the rest into the waist band. Cover the edge with the waist belt and tuck the ribbons into itself or under the belt to create a more flat look. At the neck, wear a maroon scarf tied into a bow. Pair with black elbow-black gloves, maroon lace-up boots, and a teal green/ blue party hat. For hair, you can use a temporary spray orange color.
