Kevin Spacey is set to make a bold return to the stage this autumn, performing a one-night-only cabaret-style show at a luxury resort in Cyprus as he continues his comeback to public life.
The Oscar-winning actor, 66, will headline a live performance titled Songs & Stories on 15 November at the five-star Parklane Luxury Collection Resort in Limassol.
Tickets start at £220, with a VIP package priced at £1,100 offering fans a half-hour meet-and-greet, a bottle of champagne and a fruit platter. The show will see Spacey backed by a jazz band as he sings and shares anecdotes from his decades in Hollywood.
Promotional material for the event claims the performance will carry “the elegance of Sinatra” and “the wit of Dean Martin,” calling it “the return of an entertainer in the grandest sense of the word.”
Guests are instructed to wear cocktail attire for the 90-minute evening event, which marks one of Spacey’s highest-profile live appearances since his acquittal on sexual assault charges in the UK in 2023.
Spacey, who won Oscars for The Usual Suspects and American Beauty, has long been known for his musical ambitions.
He portrayed singer Bobby Darin in the 2004 biopic Beyond the Sea and previously performed on stage at Madison Square Garden with Billy Joel.
The announcement of his Cyprus concert comes just months after Spacey collected a Lifetime Achievement Award at a Cannes gala hosted by the Better World Fund - a charity not formally affiliated with the Cannes Film Festival - sparking backlash from critics and campaigners.
The actor used the May appearance in France to lash out at Hollywood “blacklisting,” as he attempts to relaunch his career following a string of allegations during the #MeToo movement.
In July 2023, Spacey was found not guilty of sexually assaulting four men between 2001 and 2013, after a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court. He has denied all allegations of wrongdoing and maintained his innocence throughout.
Despite the legal clearance, the fallout from the allegations continued. In April last year, Spacey dismissed further claims made in a Channel 4 documentary, sarcastically praising the “great acting” of those who appeared in the programme.
Last June, it emerged that a new civil suit had been filed against him at the High Court by Ruari Cannon, who waived his anonymity to pursue the case. The case is ongoing.
A small but vocal group of Hollywood figures including Sharon Stone and Liam Neeson have defended Spacey and called for an end to his “seven-year exile” from the industry.
