Alan Cumming & Ari Shapiro

Och & Oy! A Considered Cabaret

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 critically acclaimed evening of tunes and tall tales titled Och & Oy! A Considered Cabaret. 

The evening, featuring musical direction by Henry Koperski, is a mix of sharp, irreverent humour and showtunes being belted with all of the charm we’ve come to expect from Cumming and Shapiro. These two titans of entertainment are known worldwide for their storytelling skills; now they’re bringing you their classic larger than life personalities with just a few musical numbers on top. Join them for an intimate evening of tunes and tall tales!

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.”
