Cheyenne Jackson stopped by HuffPost Live today to discuss "Eyes Wide Open," his new show at New York's famed Carlyle Café. Watch the interview, in which he also talks about the state of Broadway, below!

Cheyenne Jackson, with stage credits including The Performers, 8, Finian's Rainbow, Damn Yankees and Xanadu; television appearances on 30 Rock, Glee, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Ugly Betty; and film work including Love is Strange, United 93, Price Check and Lola Versus, just made his debut at Café Carlyle, continuing through January 24. The two-week engagement, entitled Eyes Wide Open, takes a personal and humorous look at loss, love, revelation and recovery with music ranging from Louis Armstrong to Lady Gaga.

Jackson, who has twice sold out Carnegie Hall, was recently nominated for a Grammy Award within the Best Musical Theater Album category for his contribution to West Side Story. At the Carlyle, Cheyenne Jackson is joined by his musical director Willy Beaman.
