Ann Hampton Callaway to Perform the Songs of Barbra Streisand at Landmark on Main Street, 10/19

Landmark on Main Street proudly opens its 2013-14 Main Stage Cabaret Series with Ann Hampton Callaway Presents the Barbra Streisand Songbook on Saturday, October 19 at 8 PM.

Ann Hampton Callaway is one of the leading champions of the great American Songbook, having made her mark as a singer, pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger, actress, educator, TV host and producer. Her unique singing style blends jazz and traditional pop, making her a mainstay in concert halls, theaters and jazz clubs as well as in the recording studio, on television, and in film. She is best known for Tony-nominated performance in the hit Broadway musical Swing! and for writing and singing the theme song to the hit TV series The Nanny. Callaway is a Platinum Award winning writer whose songs are featured on six of Barbra Streisand's recent CD's. The only composer to have collaborated with Cole Porter, she has also written songs with Carole King, Rolf Lovland and Barbara Carroll to name a few.

In his review of Callaway's Streisand Songbook show, NY Times' Stephen Holden writes, "Both {Callaway and Streisand} favor overarching, dramatic love songs, and both have the vocal equipment to infuse them with fairy tale magic....I was reminded that a greeting card sentimentality is forever, and that voices that can really put it over are all too rare."
