Alan Cumming returns to Studio 54 tomorrow night (March 11) for a performance of his solo show, Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age. Previously seen at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane across the pond, the Tony-winning actor blends story, song, and an exploration of aging to create a unique and spirited cabaret act. An encore performance is scheduled for March 25.
“Cumming’s puckish spirit and eclectic joie de vivre is on full display in Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age, an evening of story mixed with song mixed with a joyful and mischievous exploration of our most communal of pastimes: aging! Here, Cumming covers all the bases: sex, death, and bacchanalia, with a set list as eclectic as the man himself – Kander and Ebb tunes blended with contemporary favorites, and even a self-penned paean against plastic surgery. He also discusses the effects of gravity, the time the mom from the Brady Bunch punched him, and what his dog taught him about the quality of life.”
Who’s going?
“I am furious, but I am sailing.”
