QUICK TAKES - Aug. 6, 2009

Scottish actor Alan Cumming, who won a Tony Award in 1998 for his role as the Emcee in a revival of “Cabaret,” is bringing a one-man show to the Orange County Performing Arts Center’s Samueli Theater on Sept. 26.

“Alan Cumming: I Bought a Blue Car” is billed as a musical focusing on the performer’s 10 years living in America. The Orange County production will follow a run in London.
