Emma Stone has extended her run in ‘Cabaret’.
The 26-year-old actress took over from Michelle Williams in the role of Sally Bowles on New York’s Broadway in November and will continue to star in the production until February 15, two weeks longer than initially scheduled, the Roundabout Theatre Company have announced.
It has not yet been announced who will take over the role once her stint is completed until the production’s run ends on March 29.
Emma – who is in a relationship with her ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ co-star Andrew Garfield – recently spoke of her delight at starring in the production because she has always been "obsessed" with it.
She said: "I’ve wanted to play Sally Bowles since I was 10, and saw Natasha Richardson in ‘Cabaret’.
"I don’t think I’ve ever been so truly obsessed with a character or a story. I can’t believe it’s actually happening.
"Rob Marshall [co-director with Sam Mendes] said to me that Sally is like ‘Hamlet’ for women."
Emma previously admitted she was terrified of taking on the role.
The ‘Birdman’ star said: "I’m scared s***less! But I’ve wanted to play that part since I was, strangely, nine years old, which is way too young."
