Kevin Spacey Copenhagen show cancelled, Digi Mart USA News (Frederiksberg, Denmark): Kevin Spacey’s effort to rebuild his career has run into another obstacle. The 66-year-old actor was scheduled to perform on November 28 at Falkonersalen in Frederiksberg with his musical one-man show “Songs & Stories,” but the concert has now been canceled.
The venue’s event department confirmed the cancellation to Politiken.
The show was meant to combine classic American songs with personal stories from Spacey’s life and career. Ticket prices ranged from 590 to 2,199 kroner.
The reason for the cancellation has not been officially disclosed, but much suggests that ticket sales have been disappointing. Back in September, a representative of the concert promoter Karabas said sales were slow.
According to the promoter, only a few tickets were being sold per day, although the goal was to sell 1,600 tickets in total.
“It’s a bit quiet right now. I don’t know why,” Ganna Voronych of Karabas said at the time.
Kevin Spacey was for decades one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, with Oscar-winning performances in “The Usual Suspects” and “American Beauty.” He also achieved major success as Frank Underwood in the Netflix series “House of Cards” until he was fired in 2017 following a series of allegations of sexual harassment and assault.
Spacey was acquitted in 2023 of a range of charges in a trial in London, and he had previously been cleared of liability in a civil lawsuit brought by actor Anthony Rapp. Earlier this year, he also settled with three other men who had filed lawsuits against him.
The musical show “Songs & Stories” has been part of the actor’s effort to return to the public spotlight, but the planned Copenhagen performance will not take place.
