Segerstrom Center for the Arts will offer two Cabaret extravaganzas this Spring featuring an iconic Broadway performer and an acclaimed parody of Broadway shows at Samueli Theater to complete the 2024/2025 Cabaret Series. Broadway legend, Cheyenne Jackson, brings his critically acclaimed show April 10 – 12, 2025 at 7 pm, and the hilarious comedy hit series Forbidden Broadway arrives on May 15-17, 2025 at 7 pm with Merrily We Stole a Song. These two performances will be the last opportunity for patrons to experience the intimate magic of live music, acting, and comedy in this Cabaret Season.
After his acclaimed sold out run at 54 Below last year, the Emmy and GRAMMY®-nominated luminary Cheyenne Jackson will bring his infectious charm and powerhouse vocals to the Samueli Theater with Signs of Life, a musical meditation on art, love, fatherhood, and the cosmic twists that have shaped his remarkable path. In Signs of Life, Cheyenne invites audiences on a deeply personal and uproariously funny exploration of the universe’s subtle cues. From toe-tapping melodies to saucy showbiz anecdotes, prepare for an unforgettable night filled with whimsy, laughter, and the sheer joy of a perfectly imperfect night of shared experience.
Then, Forbidden Broadway brings Merrily We Stole a Song, which parodies current Broadway shows, including Hell’s Kitchen, Stereophonic, The Outsiders, The Great Gatsby, Back to the Future, The Wiz, and Merrily We Roll Along. Attendees can also expect sendups of Roger Bart, Patti LuPone, Daniel Radcliffe, Ariana DeBose, Jeremy Jordan, and the 2024 Tony Awards as well as selections from Alessandrini’s recent Forbidden Sondheim.
