New York Times Review: Alan Cumming Receives Rave In New York

The New York Times, in a rave review written by Stephen Holden, says it best:
"Taking command of the stage with the ease of a vaudevillian who has been treading the boards for decades, Mr. Cumming entertained with a capital E. With his slightly dandified pied-piper charm, he might be described as a modern-day Noël Coward, or as the successor to Peter Allen, who was coy about his sexuality, whereas Mr. Cumming is openly gay and politically engaged with gay causes.
With arched eyebrows like twin crescent moons and a friendly leer, Mr. Cumming has a clown’s facial mobility. As he belted the drag rock anthems from “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” the late-1990s show that is still ahead of its time, his body language was broadly, sometimes comically, emotive. His singing with its strong Scottish burr may be far from beautiful, but it is bluntly expressive. Accompanying him were two musicians, his musical director and sometime songwriting collaborator Lance Horne on piano, and Yair Evnine on cello."
Make your reservations now for his return engagement June 22 to June 26. My guess if you don't call (212) 339-4095 very soon, the place will sell out!
