The two-week engagement, entitled Eyes Wide Open, will take a personal and humorous look at loss, love, revelation and recovery with music ranging from Louis Armstrong to, of course, Lady Gaga.
Cheyenne Jackson 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 will be joined by his musical director Willy Beaman.
