Great! Why isn't Liz Callaway a big Broadway star?
Because she over eats; makes terrible coffee... and kicks little children.
I didn't know she makes terrible coffee.
Liz's career stalled after she got a coffee house employee fired for not being "happy" enough for her.
His name was Taylor, I think.
She really gives Cheno a run for her coffee.
I love Liz Callaway but I don't like her phrasing here. How is it she makes "Knowing When To Leave" sound sluggish?
Speaking of Liz Callaway does anyone else remember her as Judy the high school senior aspiring to be a Broadway star in 1981's made for TV movie SENIOR TRIP?
Boy, do I remember that CBS TV movie. Scott Baio was also in it.
SENIOR TRIP
Original airdate on CBS: December 30, 1981
All aboard for a ride on the wild side!
A group of graduating students from a midwestern high school comes to New York City on a trip to celebrate the impending end of school. The students include: Roger Ellis, an ambitious teen aiming for success in big business; David, an aspiring rock star; Judy Matheson, a stagestruck coed actress wannabe; Denise, a free-spirited girl hoping to obtain a degree of sophistication; Fred, a lotharo looking for any Big City woman to be with; and Jon Lipton, a would-be artist hoping to make it big. Mickey Rooney also appears briefly as himself during the backstage scene at the play "Sugar Babies."
That's it! She sang a big song in it while standing in Times Square I think. Can't remember the name of the song.
I have grown appreciation for the work of Liz Callaway as when I was in grade school, 1998 she performed as Grizabella in CATS. She is featured on one of my cherished albums entitled A STEPHEN SONDHEIM EVENING. I have read people rave about Leigh Ann Larkin's delivery of "The Miller's Son" which I had caught 'A Little Night Music' in April and enjoyed her performance. I also love the recording of the song that you will find Liz singing on this recording... as Leigh Ann has the characterizations with her performance, Ms. Callaway's recording is so pristine!
