Alan Cumming: Legal Immigrant Comes To Van Wezel

Tony Award-winner (Cabaret) Scottish-born Alan Cumming returns to the Van Wezel with his new show Legal Immigrant, celebrating his ten years as a US citizen, growing older and what it feels like to be an immigrant in today's America. Alan, known for his role as Eli Gold on The Good Wife and as co-host of the Tony Awards in 2015, will take the Van Wezel stage on Saturday, April 20, 2019 at 8 p.m. for an evening of live entertainment you won't want to miss!

The set list for Alan Cumming's new concert show is as eclectic and idiosyncratic as Alan himself. Legal Immigrant begins with a show-stopping opening of Kander & Ebb's The Singer, Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends and Not A Day Goes By from Merrily We Roll Along, and Losing My Mind from Follies - all combined into one mash up of American musical theatre giants! The show continues in a style Alan calls "a true old-fashioned cabaret, a smorgasbord of genres, styles and tales; laughter, tears and, of course, provocation!" He will cover songs made famous by female musical legends as diverse as Pink, Edith Piaf, Adele and Marlene Dietrich. Ever wanted to hear Schubert and Peggy Lee together in one song? You will! Cole Porter will make an appearance, as will Scottish treasures Robert Burns and the Proclaimers. There might even be a Disney Princess medley sung without a drop of irony. The evening will end with Cumming inviting the audience to sing along with him to one of America's best-known anthems.
