Alan Cumming ( Cabaret, The Good Wife ) and Ari Shapiro (NPR’s All
Things Considered , Pink Martini) both transport audiences to other
worlds through their stories. Now, they’re joining forces in SONG.
Witness the exclusive debut of their new evening of tunes and tall
tales titled “Och & Oy! A Considered Cabaret”. Musical direction
by Henry Koperski. In a statement, Cumming said, “I’ve got to know
Ari over the last few years, both socially and when he interviewed me
for a couple of events. The last time was an evening in D.C., and by
the end of it I realized our chemistry and the unusual combo of us, as
well as the fact that Ari has an amazing voice, would make for a
really great cabaret show. And kapow! We’re doing it! What I love
most is it’s fresh and ever-changing.” Shapiro added, “When Alan
first suggested that we create a show together, I didn’t quite
believe him. Then as we started to dig in to this collaboration, I
realized how much our professional lives actually complement each
other. We’re both storytellers who try to help audiences better
understand themselves and the world around them. This show lets us
explore those shared ideals on stage together, through stories and
songs.”
