Ann Hampton Callaway to Perform 'The Streisand Songbook' at Segerstrom Center, 5/7-9

Segerstrom Center presents Platinum Award-winning singer-songwriter and Tony Award® nominated actress Ann Hampton Callaway May 7 - 9 in Samueli Theater. In her show - The Streisand Songbook - Callaway performs songs made classics by her musical heroine, the incomparable Barbra Streisand, though giving them her own personal style. Selections will come from Streisand's unforgettable catalogue of hits made during her multi-faceted, five-decade career that includes Broadway, film and concept albums. Callaway weaves humorous and inspiring anecdotes of how Streisand began as a role model for her and evolved into a mentor and even recording Callaway's songs on six of her recent CDs, including "I've Dreamed of You," the song that Streisand sang on her wedding day.

"Equally important, Callaway has the smarts to make the proper selections from Streisand's vast repertoire, largely selecting songs that, while known for their recordings by Streisand, can still be made the singer's own," states TheaterMania.com.
