Ann Talman Brings ELIZABETH TAYLOR AND THE SHADOW Of HER SMILE To Wells Theatre

Ann Talman brings her award-winning show Ann Talman: Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile to the Wells Theatre in Norfolk, Virginia, on Friday, April 18 at 7:30 PM; Saturday, April 19 at 7:30 PM; and Sunday, April 20 at 2:00 PM.

Enjoy an evening of story and song about Ann and Elizabeth's amazing bond, filled with hilarious and touching stories that only Ann can tell, woven with Broadway and Great American Songbook gems. Ann's imitation of Elizabeth is so spot on, if you close your eyes, you'll swear they're together again! The award-winning team behind Ann Talman: Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile is director Lina Koutrakos and musical director Alex Rybeck.

Ann Talman is an actor, singer, storyteller, award-winning documentary filmmaker, and four-time Broadway and West End veteran. She joined Actors' Equity with co-star Elizabeth Taylor in 1981 when she landed the plum role in The Little Foxes playing Taylor's daughter on Broadway. The show traveled the world for eighteen months including six months in London and their loving friendship lasted for the rest of Miss Taylor's life.

Ann Talman: Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile received critical and audience acclaim when it debuted at 54 Below in March 2022 and then again when it enjoyed a two-night encore engagement the following September 2022.

It has since played at The Laurie Beechman and Don't Tell Mama in NYC, Feinstein's Hotel Carmichael in Carmel, IN, Feinstein's Hotel Nikko in San Francisco, Chicago's Davenports, Joe Brancato's The Penguin Rep, Chicago's Davenport's, The Delray Beach Playhouse, The Westport Country Playhouse, Tucson's Invisible Theatre, DC's The Liz, The Austin Cabaret Theatre, Theatre Jacksonville, Act2PV Theater in Puerto Vallarta and Crazy Coqs in London.
