Liz Callaway

Last night, I was attended a Boston Pops concert, and found that Liz Callaway was performing with them for the night. The name sounded vaguely familiar to me, and looking at her bio, I saw she won a Tony Award for 'Baby' and also originated the role of Ellen in 'Miss Saigon'. This surprise was certainly a treat. She came on, singing a several song set featuring songs from the 1960s. Ms Callaway is certainly a talent. She sang a wide variety of songs, ranging from "How to Succeed" to "Half as Big as Life" (from 'Promises, Promises') to "Frank Mills" (from Hair) to "And the Beat Goes On". She put on a great show, earning a well-deserved standing ovation after her final set.

In the program and during the performance, she mentioned she has a few CDs out - I was wondering, which CDs should I look into to get the best of Liz? I'd prefer her singing showtunes (those seemed to be her strongest songs), but any songs will do. Thanks!

She originated the role on broadway! Claire Moore originated the role of Ellen!!

i know it thrashes my head! You can say something completely innocent and it's taken completely out of context! Snippy? Never heard that term before... the pond has a tendancy of altering colloquial language

Here is a link to a very nice interview with Liz Callaway -- a bit old by now, but worth reading nonetheless to get a sense of the person.
