West Side Story to Wicked: Broadway with the Callaways
Saturday, January 30
Two Performances: 6:00pm and 8:30pm
Broadway's dynamic duo from Chicago - the Tony-nominated Callaway Sisters - raise the roof with their newest show, proving they're one singular sensation, singing show-stoppers from Chicago and Funny Girl to Cats, Carousel and more!

Ann Hampton Callaway's husky, jazz-flavored sound is the perfect complement for Liz Callaway's clear bell tones in West Side Story to Wicked: Broadway with the Callaways, an evening of wit, humor and the soaring sounds of the greatest songs of Broadway. This evening promises a chance to see two of Broadway's elite performers - and best friends - having fun together on stage. As Liz says about her sister, "As much as I enjoy performing on my own, there is nothing better than singing with Ann."One of the leading champions of the Great American Songbook, Ann Hampton Callaway has made her mark as a singer, pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger and actress. She received a Tony nomination for her role in Broadway's Swing! and was featured on the soundtrack of Queen Latifah's Last Holiday. She has written more than 250 songs, including two Platinum Award-winning hits for Barbra Streisand and the theme for the hit TV series The Nanny.
Liz Callaway is a Tony nominee and Emmy Award-winning actress, singer and recording artist. She made her Broadway debut in Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along and was Tony-nominated for her performance in Baby. For five years, she won acclaim as Grizabella in Cats and has starred in the original casts of Miss Saigon, The Three Musketeers and The Look of Love. Off-Broadway, she received a Drama Desk nomination for her performance in The Spitfire Grill at Playwrights Horizons.
