Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age Plays 1st Broadway Performance March 11

Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age begins its two night Broadway run March 11.

The solo show, which recently played London's West End, was initially scheduled to only play Studio 54 for one-night-only March 11. A second March 25 performance has been added due to demand.

"The cabaret genre and Studio 54 are both utterly defining parts of my life and career," said Cumming in a previous statement, "So, to be able to combine the two—taking my latest show to this beautiful and iconic venue—is a dream come true and a coming home wrapped up in one. And where better to discuss not acting your age than the home of hedonism and bacchanalia?”

The show centers around this question: "What exactly is acting your age?" As Cumming explained in a previous statement, "I’m constantly told, even now in my sixth decade, that I am child-like or puckish, and yet at the same time I’m also called a silver fox and a daddy. I think we all get really mixed messages about aging. We’re told to worship at the fountain of youth, to do everything we can to our bodies and our minds to stay young, yet then we bandy around pejoratives like 'grow up' or 'act your age,' even that we’re 'mutton dressed as lamb.' I feel I’m still at an age where I can dance till dawn but also be able to dole out some wisdom to my fellow revelers! Wisdom is just being able to recognize the repeating patterns that emerge as you get older, and maybe deciding to react to them differently. It’s just the same show with different costumes."

The show covers the classic topics of sex, death, and debauchery with a set list that ranges from John Kander and Fred Ebb songs, to contemporary favorites, to songs written by Cumming himself.

Cumming's Broadway career includes playing the Emcee in two productions of Cabaret in 1998 and 2014 (he won a Tony Award for the role in 1998). Cumming has also starred in Threepenny Opera and a solo adaptation of Macbeth. He won his second Tony Award for producing A Strange Loop. Cumming is currently the host of the reality show The Traitors on NBC.

Tickets are available at CriterionTicketing.com. The event is produced by Jacob Langfelder in association with Broadway and Vine. See photos from the show's West End engagement below.
