Who wants to get sappy with a Tony winner…just in time for Valentine’s Day?! Tony and Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner Alan Cumming will head to Carnegie Hall for Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs with Friends on February 8, 2016. Who are said friends, you ask? None other than Darren Criss, Chita Rivera, the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus and Ricki Lake.
Cumming won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for playing the Emcee in 1998's Cabaret; he reprised his performance in 2014. His other Broadway credits include Design For Living, The Threepenny Opera and his (almost) one-man performance of Macbeth in 2013. His film and TV resume includes The Good Wife, X2, Spy Kids, Web Therapy, Burlesque, Spice World, Josie and the Pussycats, Annie and The Anniversary Party.
The event, presented by Daniel Nardicio, will be musically directed by Lance Horne. Also on tap for Carnegie Hall in the coming months is the New York Pops’ It’s Christmas Time in the City with Stephanie J. Block and Brian d’Arcy James.
