Since Mad Men isn’t a musical, Jackson had to put together the show based on both his own passion for the material and his desire to create a memorable production that reveals more of who he is. My dad always had Elvis and Roy Orbison playing. “I was obsessed with Chet Baker and that vibe. “I think it started in high school when my teacher said ‘You were born in the wrong era because your voice was suited for the American songbook of the 1950s,'” Jackson says. This throwback approach was the first we thing discussed. This Saturday he’ll be singing Music of the Mad Men Era in his solo concert debut at Disney Hall. He later appeared in a revival of Finian’s Rainbow, a show that first appeared on Broadway in the late 1940s. He first came to fame in All Shook Up, a musical using Elvis Presley’s songs. There’s something about the decades well before his birth that keep hovering over Cheyenne Jackson.
