"Cabaret" is a show which has a plot that brings us back to 1931 in Berlin. The story revolves around the girls of the Kit Kat Klub as they become exposed to the outside world. The Nazis were taking over back then so the show is basically as intense as it could get. The notable songs are those of "Willkommen" and "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" by John Kander and Fred Ebb.

Stone was initially offered this role but she was not able to continue with it since it had conflicts with her schedule as she was still filming for the "Amazing Spider-Man".

According to sources, the show "Cabaret" has had more than two thousand performances back in 1998 to 2004. The show also won a Tony Award in 1998. It was awarded with the "Best Musical Revival".

Aside from Williams and Stone playing the role of Sally Bowles, the part has also been played by Gina Gershon, Jill Haworth, Melina Kanakaredes, Jane Leeves, Natasha Richardson, Leah Thomson, Judi Dench, Alyson Reed, and a whole lot more.

Fans are excited to see Stone on the theatre's stage and they are sure that she will do great as Sally Bowles.

Stone starred as the leading lady in the 'Amazing Spider-Man', 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' and 'Easy A'.
