Alan Cumming

Great sense of humor, really connected with his audience, great venue (The Majestic Theater in San Antonio). The only negative was the volume - too loud. The yelps of praise from the Texas audience were also deafening. Otherwise great fun.

My first trip to the Stiefel Theatre in Salina was to see Alan Cumming's "Legal Immigrant" cabaret show. I was blown away! He and his band put on a great show. The music was wonderful. He told funny stories and seemed so upbeat. He kept the audience laughing. I would love to see him again. The theatre was so nice. I will definitely be going back to Salina for more shows, and if I see Alan Cumming anywhere near my area again, I will definitely buy a ticket.

Most people know Alan Cumming from "The Good Wife", without realizing he has stunningly performed on Broadway, most notably as the MC in "Cabaret". Based on this performance, his persona seems more like the latter than the former, which is a good thing. This autobiographical show is naughty, poignant, exuberant and opinionated. As he relates his story as a gay lad from Scotland who left home and sought his fortune in the theater, with missteps and accolades along the way, he intersperses appropriate songs. He was accompanied by a pianist, cellist and guitarist/drummer, all of whom were excellent musicians, playing in an understated fashion, allowing Mr. Cumming to shine. He included some commentary on current values and events, which were welcomed by the majority of the audience. Sassy, funny and not necessarily politically correct, the adience was laughing and crying with him, enjoying the evening.

One night with Alan Cumming is not enough! His stories and song so enjoyable. Loved hearing his versions of songs. Fun night in Club Cumming

Seeing Allan again was TRULLY enjoyable and ENTERTAINING.....especially since WE DANCED TOGETHER on BROADWAY after he DRAGGED me out of the AUDIENCE when. He was PERFORMING CABERET in August 2014! He is a SENSITIVE, ENTERTAINING and a SCOTTISH SHOWMAN....that SHARES HIS Wonderful or not so WONDERFUL JOURNEY in LIFE! PURE, SIMPLE AND SASSY....and a SINCERE VOICE to MATCH!

I wasn't quite sure what to expect but the evening turned out to be wonderful! Alan Cumming was very funny but has many moments of sad personal issues. The song list was a variety of covers and Scottish songs. It was a great evening!!!!

This show was all the things that Alan Cumming is: talented, witty, smart, funny, and just a touch melancholy in between. He put on a great show, and I was glad I got to see it. Fun and worthwhile!

His charming, hilarious, touching stories plus his knockout voice made for a terrific show.

Alan Cumming sings Sappy Songs like s champion. His selections are well chosen and were supported by amusing stories and personal reflections.. He is truely a great and versitale talent.

Alan Cumming is an amazingly talented performer. Obviously he is a versatile actor, but he also has a rich and powerful voice that will move you to your core. The song choices in his Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs performance are a unique mix of, yes, sappy, but also deeply moving and unique choices. He is a gifted storyteller, who will draw you in with his very personal tales of his remarkable life. It was a most enjoyable evening, shared with both my husband and daughter.

Alan Cumming was amazing!! Wonderful voice and great stories.

Alan's voice is phenomenal! His vocals and anecdotes were so great, so personable, so revealing. I like him more than ever now!

Alan Cumming is a great performer. The songs were excellent and tied into the stories he told about his life experiences. His act can be heard on: Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs: Live at the Cafe Carlyle.

As a season holder I've seen several Broadway plays and attended a few live performances this year at the Majestic. I have to admit that Alan Cumming was by far the best I've seen this year. Perhaps because he is one of my favorite TV stars, or Broadway performers, I enjoyed him so much. However, this is the first time I've seen him perform by himself. He OWNED that stage. Loved it!

I went to see Eli from The Good Wife. I went to see any of the characters so well played by Alan Cumming. I was treated to- no, thrilled by this funny, transparent and immensely talented performer. He didn't just sing sappy songs, he embodied them. I left feeling as though I had been to a top Broadway musical performance. Bravo!

Talented performer but I don't pay to hear political opinions.

The most amazing night at the theatre! Alan Cumming is beyond wonderful, such a beautiful voice, great songs and funny stories. Do not miss this wonderful artist!

Alan Cumming gave us one of our best experiences ever at DPAC. His entire non-stop set was fabulous. Thank you Alan for being an inspiration to us all, especially the LGBT community.

This show was a JOY! Great singing - new arrangements of pop music - complete re-interpretations of songs we all know and love. The patter was hilarious - show biz stories and personal accounts of experiences in Alan's life. I had seen clips from YouTube, but the show was 100x better than I expected. A meet and greet, and/or some merchandise would have made a terrific evening an over the top event.

Magnificent entertainer. Wish at least one song was from "Cabaret". Also wish there was a printed program.

Alan is a wonderful storyteller, singer and actor and is a joy to behold!

In spite of the rest of the audience I often felt that he and I were having our own conversation and he was singing to me. He is so talented and so personable. I understood all the songs because of his clear articulation. Every song was delightful. Every story either funny or poignant or both. I would see it again.

A thoroughly entertaining evening filled with much laughter and a few tears. Go, go, go see Alan Cumming and his very talented band!!

Alan Cumming is an amazing performer. Perfect combination of song and stories, both personal and showbiz, sprinkled with just a pinch of baudiness.

Awesome songs and voice. A little too much talking. More songs, less talk.

Somehow, despite the fact this this show played in Atlanta's Symphony Hall, it still felt intimate. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

With story telling mixed in with Alan's great vocals, my wife and I enjoyed a once in a lifetime concert.

Alan and his three piece " orchestra " put on a very entertaining show that was poignant, humorous and irreverent........Alan truly connects with his audience and made for a wonderful evening....

Great show- Irreverant to the nth degree-pure Alan Cumming and who would want it any other way! Also, although I had seen him perform in the theater, the quality of his singing was better that I recalled. Altogether, a wonderful evening!

A great mix of music and banter..really engaging .. loved the evening.. I've seen him before and really admire his talent.

I loved every minute of this show. Alan Cumming is such a talented man and knows how to connect with an audience. All the songs he sang were engaging and the storytelling behind the songs appreciated.

Great Venue..they even upgraded my seat......since they had some available seating on the lower level. He was fun/energetic and a pleasure .....bottled energy with a British Accent.

Great talent!! Magical moments. I loved his choice of sappy songs and heartfelt stories.

I wasn't sure what to expect but the performance was one of the best shows I have ever seen. It was a perfect blend of humor, storytelling, and music.

Entertaining, funny, engaging, and incredible voice. He could have cut short the in between song stories a bit. Would have liked to have heard at least one song from Cabaret.

Alan C was a delightful performer and such a beautiful voice. I loved the stories in between the SAPPY songs and I thought the song choices were perfectly SAPPY. I hope he will continue developing these types of performances.

A true force to be reckoned with, Alan Cumming delivered a phenomenal show! We've seen him perform "Macbeth" on Broadway (a ONE-MAN show, nonetheless) and "Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs" showed us another side of this unbelievably talented performer. He is not afraid to show his personal side and, without singing songs we all are familiar with, he reviled a sensitive, extremely intelligent person - and was also absolutely hysterical at times! Touching on the current political situation in the USA and his personal life, he covered both ends of the spectrum of baring your soul. We would love to see this show again - preferably at the Cafe Carlyle in NYC! DON'T MISS THIS SHOW IF YOU CAN GET TO A PERFORMANCE!

I'm a big fan of Alan Cumming and missed seeing him in Cabaret in 2014. I watched the Good Wife the entire time, and have seen him interviewed several times. He is incredibly talented and funny. I figured he'd be a little scandalous, and he was... in a GREAT way! I bought 4 tickets and took 2 of my friends that attended the 2014 Tony Awards with me, plus one other... we all loved it!

Alan Cumming is a gift! The show did give that cabaret vibe, even though it was performed in a larger venue. The evening was a lovely blend of stories and songs, and Alan sounded amazing and gave a very moving performance, covering songs from Annie Lennox to Miley Cyrus and, much to my delight, entertained with some show tunes as well. I hope to see this kind of show again from this multitalented entertainer!

Amazing voice, compelling storytelling, very funny. Would buy tickets to his next show.

Alan Cumming was raw, personable, engaging and his song choices were interesting and refreshing. His voice is powerful and fabulous

What a talented in Alan Cunning. I have followed his career for many years and had the honor of getting a small dance on stage with Alan in Cabaret. I will see him over and over.

The show was funny, clever and the comedy and singing were extremely enjoyable.

Sing Sappy Songs? He sang a few but too few. Spent most of the show telling stories that weren't very interesting. Very talented musicians around him that made him look ok.

Alan describes himself as an actor who sings; he is likewise a wonderful singer who acts! Honestly, i was not familiar with most of the songs, but they were most enjoyable, and his Hollywood banter was interspersed just enough to fill 90 minutes of solid entertainment. His vocal range is amazing, and accompanied by piano, drums and cello, the effect was mesmerizing. The shock: nothing from Cabaret!

I wasn't sure what to expect since my initial knowledge of Alan Cumming is from "The Good Wife." The evening felt like it was taking place in a small intimate cabaret even though it was in a fairly large theater. He's got a really great voice (and of course that lovely Scottish accent!) He sang a variety of heartfelt songs with a 3 piece ensemble of piano, drums, and cello and told stories of his life along the way. I would highly recommend it!

Alan Cumming was so engaging and entertaining. We laughed, we cried, we listened. I knew him mostly as an actor and was aware that he was a musical theater actor, but I didn't know what a good singer he was. This show combined songs that had emotional connection and the story-telling aspect tied everything together very well. I highly recommend this if you enjoy Alan's work.
