Did anyone catch Cheyenne Jackson and Nina Arianda in the Music of the Mad Men Era concert? If so, how was it?

She only sang one duet with him and given the song it was difficult to tell if she was a true, true singer, but she was good.

Can someone elaborate. Why such vague answers? What was the name of the song they sang together?

I went! It was excellent!! He brought her on for one song- it was called "Somethin' Stupid." They sang together in harmony the whole time and were kinda dancing together while they sang. She sounded really good but it didn't show her off individually or anything. Cheyenne was very enthusiastic and personable and seemed so excited to be performing at the Kennedy Center. His family was there and he dedicated songs to both of his parents and his husband.

Gosh I'd hope she can sing, I'd do anything for her to begin performing in musical theater.

EDIT: should've been more specific since she has a history with musical theater, Broadway in particular Updated On: 1/5/13 at 03:01 PM
