ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY: I GET A KICK OUT OF COLE

Tony-nominee and pop/jazz recording artist Ann Hampton Callaway celebrates the great Cole Porter in a marvelous night of his classics, ranging from witty to wistful. This inductee of The Women Songwriters Hall of Fame is the only composer to have collaborated with Cole Porter, so the song she wrote with him posthumously, “I Gaze in Your Eyes,” will be one of the highlights. Expect Callaway’s takes on “Just One of Those Things,” “From This Moment On,” “Night and Day,” “Every Time We Say Goodbye,” and more, along with stories that enliven the night and bring the audience closer to the man who Ann says “had so much savoir it isn’t fare.”

“For sheer vocal beauty, no contemporary singer matches Ms. Callaway.” – Stephen Holden, The New York Times

“Just as Ella Fitzgerald was the greatest jazz singer of her era, so too is the magnificent Ann Hampton Callaway of hers.” – Musical Theatre Review
