TV Exclusive: Alan Cumming Sings SAPPY SONGS with the Help of Darren Criss & More!

Tony Award-winning performer ALAN CUMMING made his headlining debut at Carnegie Hall last night with Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs, featuring guest stars Kristin Chenoweth, Darren Criss and Ricki Lake, in addition to a special performance by the New York City Gay Men's Chorus.

Below, check out Cumming's performances of "Somewhere Only We Know," "Why," "I Don't Care Much," (featuring Criss on the piano) and more!

Backed by Cumming's longtime musical director Lance Horne on piano, Eleanor Norton on cello, Chris Jago on drums and Michael Croiter on guitar and percussion, Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs premiered in Spring 2015 for a limited run at the iconic supper club Café Carlyle, garnering such critical praise that Nardicio approached Cumming about bringing the show to Carnegie for a one-night-only performance.

This evening also marked the release of Cumming's newest CD Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs, from Yellow Sound Label, recorded live at the Café Carlyle. It includes his singular interpretations of pop hits (Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon," Miley Cyrus's "The Climb," Rufus Wainwright's "Dinner at Eight"), musical theater songs ("The Ladies Who Lunch" from Company, "You, You, You" from Kander & Ebb's The Visit, "If Love Were All" by Noël Coward) and numbers that Cumming has collected from around the world ("Mother Glasgow" from Scotland, "La Complainte de la Butte" from France, "How Do Humans Live" from Germany).
