Liz Callaway To Headline New Years Eve At The Met Room

For a special New Year's Eve treat, the Metropolitan Room welcomes back the Tony nominated and Emmy-winning Liz Callaway in a one-night only encore of her hit show "Passage of Time." Based on her newly released album of the same name (PS Classics in October), "Passage of Time" ticks off a set of timely numbers by Carly Simon, Stephen Schwartz, the Beatles, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Maltby and Shire, Stephen Sondheim and John Bucchino, among others. In reviewing the show's October premiere, Stephen Holden of The New York Times proclaimed that Callaway's is "a big, bright Broadway voice that illuminates a room like a ray of sunshine beamed to the rafters. (...) She had the packed house cheering."

Callaway performs "Passage of Time" twice on New Year's eve -- at 8pm, when the cover charge is $40 (plus a two-drink minimum), and again at 10:30pm, when a special $125 cover (plus tax and gratuity) includes free-flowing hors d'oeuvres, dessert, a champagne toast and open bar.

Seen most recently on Broadway in "The Look of Love," Callaway made her Big Stem debut in the original cast of Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along." Besides "Baby" (for which she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical) she starred in "Cats," "Miss Saigon" and "The Three Musketeers." "Passage of Time" is Callaway's first album in eight years.

Rated "Best of New York" by New York Magazine in 2008, the Nightlife and Bistro Award-winning Metropolitan Room, 34 West 22nd Street, opened its doors in May 2006. The club is celebrated for booking both well-known and up-and-coming singers in shows spanning an eclectic range of styles -- from jazz and cabaret, to folk, pop and rock.
