One Night Only: Cheyenne Jackson, Live at Mercyhurst
MIAC welcomes musical talent to their concert stage
WEDNESDAY, MAR. 18
The Mercyhurst Institute for Arts and Culture (MIAC) is proud to welcome the Emmy and Grammy-nominated artist Cheyenne Jackson to their stage for an incredible concert as he continues his Mid Life Torso Tour.
Fresh off of his Carnegie Hall solo debut and known extensively across the theater scene, Jackson offers a unique range of musical mastery and comfort in the spotlight. He has an extensive resume, having performed in over 15 shows on and off Broadway. This includes work in familiar titles such as Into the Woods, The Secret Garden, and All Shook Up – this role in particular earned him the Theatre World Award for "Outstanding Broadway Debut."
His television and film presence is no less spectacular, with roles in 30 Rock, Glee, and several seasons of American Horror Story.
MIAC Artistic Director Dr. Brett Johnson commends Jackson's performance versatility: "Anyone who appreciates great singing, compelling storytelling, and an evening of live music will find something to love. His program spans Sinatra and Elvis to Sam Smith and Chappell Roan, so it truly crosses generations."
Jackson is also set to perform an original song, titled "Ok," described on MIAC's website as "a moving tribute to his father's unconditional love for his gay son."
"Mercyhurst has built a reputation for bringing major artists to Erie, and we're proud to continue that tradition." Johnson stated. "Jackson's performance promises warmth, humor, and exceptional musicianship – the kind of shared live experience that reminds us why the performing arts matter."
MIAC plays an integral part in displaying Erie's diverse community of talented artists, actors, and musicians. In addition to several annual live shows through MIAC Live, the School of Arts frequently opens its doors to showcase various galleries, recitals, ensembles, and more.
This one-night-only engagement promises an "electric evening," and is intended for audiences of all ages.
7:30 p.m. // Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center, 501 E. 38th St. // $30-55 // For tickets and info: miac.mercyhurst.edu
