Alan Cumming Talks Playing Cabaret's Emcee in Every Decade & Getting Queen Helen Mirren to Try Crocs

Alan Cumming will take his final bow as Cabaret’s Emcee when the revival closes on March 29, but he’s had quite a stay at the Kit Kat Klub. He reaches the “end of an era,” he explained to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, after playing the pansexual ringleader in every decade of his adulthood (Cumming first played the role in his 20s, and he recently turned 50). But don’t expect a 60-year-old Emcee. Take a look at the fun clip below as Cumming vows to hang up the suspenders for good, and recounts his fashion (or lack thereof) influence on former co-star and fellow current Broadway headliner Helen Mirren. Yes, even the Queen wears Crocs!
