Ann Hampton Callaway
Feb. 15-19
The Tony Award nominee Ann Hampton Callaway made her Royal Room debut in January 2002 and is returning for her sixth engagement at The Colony. One of the finest singer/songwriters of our time, the statuesque performer dazzles music lovers as a singer, pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger, and quick-witted actress. Her talents have made her equally at home in jazz and pop as well as on stage, in the recording studio, on TV and in film. She is best known for starring in the hit Broadway musical Swing! and for writing and singing the theme to the internationally successful TV series, The Nanny. A devoted keeper-of-the-flame of the Great American Songbook, her piano playing remains part of her performances as she concludes most concerts with her signature improvisation, playing and singing a hilarious and well-crafted song based on words and phrases called out from the audience. She has become a favorite in the jazz and pops concert circuit, appearing as special guest artist with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall and Tanglewood. She has sung with more than 25 of the nation's top big bands and orchestras – including the popular Palm Beach Pops last year. Her performances in the Carnegie Hall tributes to Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee and Harold Arlen were memorable and show stopping. Ms. Callaway's performances have been seen on numerous TV shows including The Today Show, CNN's Larry King Live, The Charlie Rose Show, Oprah!, The Rosie O'Donnell Show and ABC News. She made her feature film several years ago opposite Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon in The Good Shepherd.Reviews of Ann Hampton Callaway:
- The New York Times: "For sheer vocal beauty, no contemporary singer matches Ms. Callaway."
- Chicago Tribune: “Ann Hampton Callaway, an accomplished singer in mainstream jazz/cabaret repertoire, long ago established her virtuosity in Fitzgerald-like vocal flights and her sensuousness of tone in Streisand-inspired arias.”
- Hartford Courant: "Remarkably versatile, technically flawless yet emotionally expressive, vocalist/composer/lyricist Ann Hampton Callaway is a living, breathing, one-woman musical academy of the fine art of jazz, pop, Broadway and cabaret singing.”
