Following up her Grammy-nominated album “To Steve With Love: Liz Callaway Celebrates Sondheim,” Emmy winner and Tony and Grammy nominee Liz Callaway turns her full attention to songwriter Stephen Schwartz with her brand-new album, The Wizard and I: Liz Callaway Sings Stephen Schwartz. Featuring songs from an extraordinary career spanning nearly 60 years and in every form of media, as well as an original song Schwartz wrote especially for her, Liz honors Stephen in her signature way, pairing his iconic songs with tales of their lifelong professional relationship and friendship. Featuring Academy Award- and Grammy-winning tunes from Wicked, Godspell, Pippin, The Baker’s Wife, and more, The Wizard and I is a personal celebration of the man who made a witch take flight and gave a bird sight. The live album was recorded over two sold-out nights at the fabled nightclub 54 Below in New York City.

“The Wizard and I” features musical direction and arrangements by longtime collaborator and pianist Alex Rybeck. Also featured on the album are Ritt Henn on bass, Ron Tierno on drums, and Ethan Carlson and Cole Wachman on backup vocals. The album is produced by Emmy Award-winner Michael J. Moritz Jr. and Liz Callaway.

About the album, Stephen Schwartz says, “After many years of our happily working together as friends, colleagues and even tennis partners, Liz has chosen to record a whole album of my songs. Of course I am honored and thrilled—but then, what lucky songwriter wouldn’t be?”

To celebrate the release of the album, Liz will return to 54 Below with three encore performances of “The Wizard and I” on March 18, 20, and 21 at 7pm. She will also encore her celebrated show “To Steve With Love” on Sondheim’s birthday, March 22 at 7pm. Tickets, including livestreams, are available at https://54below.org/artists/liz-callaway/
