These two incredibly talented sisters are longtime friends of the Royal Room. This will be Ann Hampton Callaway's seventh visit since 2002 and Liz Callaway's third engagement since 2005 – but the FIRST TIME that the two have appeared here together. They have recently been performing together in BOOM!, celebrating songs from the 60s and 70s.

The Tony Award nominee Ann Hampton Callaway is one of the finest singer/songwriters of our time, the statuesque performer dazzles music lovers as a singer, pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger, and quick-witted actress. Her talents have made her equally at home in jazz and pop as well as on stage, in the recording studio, on TV and in film. She is best known for starring in the hit Broadway musical Swing! and for writing and singing the theme to the internationally successful TV series, The Nanny. A devoTed Keeper-of-the-flame of the Great American Songbook, her piano playing remains part of her performances as she concludes most concerts with her signature improvisation, playing and singing a hilarious and well-crafted song based on words and phrases called out from the audience. She has become a favorite in the jazz and pops concert circuit, appearing as special guest artist with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall and Tanglewood. She has sung with more than 25 of the nation's top big bands and orchestras – including the popular Palm Beach Pops last year. Her performances in the Carnegie Hall tributes to Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee and Harold Arlen were memorable and show stopping. Ms. Callaway's performances have been seen on numerous TV shows including The Today Show, CNN's Larry King Live, The Charlie Rose Show, Oprah!, The Rosie O'Donnell Show and ABC News. She made her feature film several years ago opposite Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon in The Good Shepherd.

Tony Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Liz Callaway is one of the top singer-actresses appearing on the Great White Way today. Audiences have seen her on Broadway in Merrily We Roll Along, Baby, Miss Saigon, The Three Musketeers, The Look of Love and Cats, where she played the role of Grizabella (singing "Memory") for five years. She also starred in numerous off-Broadway shows, as well as the internationally acclaimed Sibling Revelry with her sister, Ann Hampton Callaway. Her numerous film and television credits include the singing voice of Anastasia in the award-winning animated film, Princess Jasmine in Aladdin and the King of Thieves, and Nala in The Lion King II. Liz also is an accomplished studio singer, and can be heard on more than 35 recordings including her three solo albums. Her extensive concert career includes appearances at New York's Carnegie Hall, as well as in London, China, France, Iceland, Estonia and in just about every major city in the United States.

Reviews of Ann Hampton Callaway & Liz Callaway:

+ The New York Times: "For sheer vocal beauty, no contemporary singer matches Ms. (Ann Hampton) Callaway."

+Chicago Tribune: "Ann Hampton Callaway, an accomplished singer in mainstream jazz/cabaret repertoire, long ago established her virtuosity in Fitzgerald-like vocal flights and her sensuousness of tone in Streisand-inspired arias."
