Ann Hampton Callaway and her sister Liz Callaway, leading lights of New York’s cabaret scene, have both been Tony Award-nominated for their performances in major Broadway musicals. Now they are coming to homes across the globe in the premiere of Side By Side, a highly anticipated livestream concert.
Side By Side is inspired by their recent joyous reunion after a 14-month pandemic separation. Liz is flying again from New York to Ann’s home in Tucson for this special ‘Callaway Hideaway’ event which will showcase older sister Ann’s deep jazz-tinged vocals and younger sister Liz’s clear-bell Broadway soprano.
Multi award-winning artists with acclaimed careers in their own right, the celebrated siblings will be singing songs from their acclaimed sister act shows ‘Sibling Revelry’, ‘Boom!’, and ‘Broadway the Calla-way!’. But do expect some extra surprises!
Ever since Ann and Liz first combined musical forces in their cabaret classic ‘Sibling Revelry’, which amusingly sends up the idea that they are in fact brutal competitors, they’ve garnered raves in sell-out venues around the world. In London, they premiered ‘Sibling Revelry’ in the Divas at the Donmar season in 1996. Nineteen years later in 2015, they revisited their award-winning show with a sold-out, critically acclaimed five-day residency at the Hippodrome Casino. Their live CDs remain classic cabaret must-haves.
The Side By Side livestream show will be up close and personal, as the sisters share stories about their lives and bring thrilling harmonies and riveting interpretations to some of the most beloved songs of Broadway, pop and jazz.
Side By Side will livestream on 23rd May and then be available on demand 24th – 31st may 2021. Tickets are on sale here.
