Video: Eddie Redmayne Teaches Jimmy Fallon 'Willkommen' From CABARET

Eddie Redmayne visited The Tonight Show on Monday to discuss his role in as the Emcee in Cabaret for which he was just nominated for a Tony.

During the interview, Redmayne recalled his first Tony win in 2010 for Red and some of his Cabaret experiences, culminating in a moment where Redmayne taught Fallon how to perform the famous opening number "Willkommen"

On the intimacy of the space, Redmayne said, "The amazing thing for me, is that the audience is the other character in the scene."

"But the hilarity of that proximity is that you hear things that perhaps you wouldn't necessarily want to hear," he added with a laugh.
