The stage actor's ailing health has meant that Broadway's Cabaret has had to set an early closing date. Porter was slated to perform as the Emcee for 13 weeks until 19 October opposite Marisha Wallace as Sally Bowles. The production has now set a final performance date of 21 September. Porter had to withdraw from the show "due to a serious case of sepsis", reps for the production said in a statement on Instagram. "His doctors are confident that he will make a full recovery, but have advised him to maintain a restful schedule," the statement read.
