Alan Cumming Sings 'SAPPY SONGS' at Arts Centre Melbourne This Week
Alan Cumming, Olivier and Tony Award-winning Scottish actor-singer-author, is a shape-shifting trickster, as enthralling and nimble with Shakespeare as he is with show tunes, and an irresistible presence in any room. Joined by his long-time collaborator and Emmy Award-winning musical director Lance Horne, the pair will take command of the stage with the support of an all-Australian band.
Most famously recognised as the Machiavellian advisor Eli Gold in THE GOOD WIFE, Cumming's diverse career started out in Scottish detective series TAGGART in 1985. Beyond the stage and screen the 50-year-old star can lay claim to being on a postage stamp, named an Icon of Scotland and for having been awarded an O.B.E for his commitment to LGBT rights in Britain and the U.S. He is also a vehement campaigner for Scottish Independence.
The versatile performer won many accolades for his turn as the Emcee on Broadway's CABARET directed by Sam Mendes and famously held post-show parties in his dressing room that became so renowned they even garnered an alcohol sponsor.
ALAN CUMMING SINGS SAPPY SONGS takes his irreverent humour and mischief-making show from the dressing room to the stage in a laugh-out-loud evening to remember. Named by Time Magazine as "one of the three most fun people in show business", audiences are in for a treat as the fearless actor takes them on a wild journey unleashing his comical chatter, hilarious story-telling and wild mix of songs.
