Depot Cabaret returns Saturday, February 1, 7:00 PM, with ANN TALMAN in her award-winning show, Elizabeth Taylor and the Shadow of Her Smile, featuring musical director ALEX RYBECK on piano and directed by LINA KOUTRAKOS. In 1981, Talman landed the plum role in The Little Foxes playing Elizabeth Taylor’s daughter on Broadway. The show traveled the world for eighteen months and their loving friendship lasted for the rest of Miss Taylor’s life. Talman shares hilarious and touching stories about their special bond, woven with Broadway and Great American Songbook gems.

“I had the great pleasure of seeing Annie’s beautiful, poignant, and funny show. She nailed the gleaming and mercurial light that was… my stepmother! I laughed and cried in equal measures.” ~ Kate Burton

“I had a wonderful time watching this catchy, revealing and tuneful tribute to a time well spent with one of the screen's most revered icons. I could see "Elizabeth Taylor and the Shadow of Her Smile" again and again. It's a unique and delightful experience!” - Rex Reed
