Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age has completed its West End bow at London's Theatre Royal Drury ahead of a UK tour, and Playbill has the pics to prove it.
Cumming premiered the solo show in London January 15 and 16, and will now take the showto Manchester and Glasgow.
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 Kander and Ebb to contemporary favorites and songs written by Cumming himself. Cumming will bring the show to Manchester's Bridgewater Hall January 18 and Glasgow's SEC Armadillo January 20.
