Dr. Hannah's latest role! Check it out!

✨ Meet the Cast of Cabaret - Daniel ✨

Originally from Rangiora, New Zealand, Daniel Hannah has appeared in and musically directed numerous shows in Thunder Bay. Favourite roles: Leo Bloom (The Producers), Shakespeare (Something Rotten!), Billy Flynn (Chicago), Frederick (Young Frankenstein), and Nicely Nicely Johnson (Guys and Dolls). He has sung with the TBSO several times, and he has also written three plays for the local 10x10 festival. Daniel is delighted to be back on stage with Badanai Theatre and would like to thank his family for helping him to tread the boards!

Come experience Daniel and the full cast in this iconic, provocative, and unforgettable musical — where the music seduces, the characters reveal their truths, and the world outside the club slowly changes.
