Dubbed “a bawdy countercultural sprite” by The New York Times, actor and activist Alan Cumming is bringing his renowned talents to Seattle. Well known for his award-winning roles in television shows like The Good Wife and Web Therapy, he is also a Tony Award-winning stage performer (Cabaret). This performance is part of a national tour celebrating his new album, Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs, which includes his interpretations of pop hits such as (Billy Joel’s “Goodnight Saigon,” Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb,”), musical theater songs (“The Ladies Who Lunch” from Company, “If Love Were All” by Noël Coward) and numbers that Cumming has collected from around the world (“Mother Glasgow” from Scotland, “La Complainte de la Butte” from France, “How Do Humans Live” from Germany). Cumming is backed by his longtime musical director Lance Horne on piano, Eleanor Norton on cello, and Chris Jago on drums.
