OK, so Cheyenne Jackson doesn't have a CD of his own out, but he is gorgeous, talented, and very out, and that is enough for me. He is 6'3" and built, with striking good looks, a beautiful voice and he can act - what's not to love? I saw him in Damn Yankees last year at New York's City Center, and he was great. He played in a cast that included Sean Hayes and Jane Krakowski.
Jackson has also roller skated in Xanadu, starred in Thoroughly Modern Millie, Altar Boyz, and played openly gay hero Mark Bingham in Flight 93. This year, he has teamed up with Michael Feinstein in a nightclub act called The Power of Two and I would kill to see it. He has also appeared in Ugly Betty and will be in the premier episode of Glee in the fall.
The above clip was Cheyenne Jackson performing the song I've Got Your Number at Broadway Under the Stars in Bryant Park, June 14, 2005. The song is from the Neil Simon musical Little Me, with music and lyrics by Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh.
The following is Cheyenne Jackson performing Surrender on January 7, 2008. The song was written by songwriter Scott Alan. This performance was at a CD Release Party for Scott Alan's Dreaming Wide Awake CD.

On a personal note, Cheyenne and his partner have been together for 10 years. To find out more about Cheyenne, visit his website here. He also has music available for purchase on iTunes.
I love me ALOT of Cheyenne! I couldn't agree more with you Howard. And I just love the picture of him on the bar stool! It stirs a little urges in the netherlands!!! And what a talent!
ReplyDeleteMaddie, every shot of Cheyenne makes me think impure thoughts. On stage, he has such a charisma & beautiful voice you can't help but be entranced and want to see him again. I would love to see him with another favorite performer, Michael Feinstein.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned last week that he was in that distressing movie I watched, United 93. I didn't know which character he played, as I've never heard of him. I'm a bad gay, I know. I don't get out much, so gimme a break.
ReplyDeleteAnywho, yes he's a hottie, a BIG hottie :-)
Cheyenne is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLarry, you get a break on this one, but now that you know who he is, you will never forget him!
ReplyDeleteDiana, he truly is!
