The show traveled the world for eighteen months including six months in London and their loving friendship lasted for the rest of Miss Taylor's life.
Ann Talman: Elizabeth Taylor and The Shadow of Her Smile received critical and audience acclaim when it debuted at 54 Below in March 2022 and then again when it enjoyed a two-night encore engagement the following September 2022.
