Tony-nominated Broadway performer Ann Hampton Callaway will return to Crazy Coqs this November with the UK premiere of I Get A Kick Out Of Cole, a celebration of the music and lyrics of legendary songwriter Cole Porter.
Presented as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival, the production will play just four performances at Crazy Coqs, Brasserie Zedel on 17, 18, 19 and 22 November 2026.
Best known for her Tony-nominated performance in Swing!, Callaway will perform a selection of Porter classics, including Just One of Those Things, From This Moment On, Night and Day and Every Time We Say Goodbye.
A highlight of the evening will be I Gaze in Your Eyes, a song Callaway composed posthumously with Cole Porter and created with the approval of the Cole Porter Estate.
Speaking about the production, Ann Hampton Callaway said: “Cole Porter’s impact on my life as a singer, songwriter and storyteller is powerful and personal. Being the only composer to have collaborated with him and digging deeper into his personal and artistic life makes this celebration uniquely meaningful. I can’t wait to wrap London in the arms of his extraordinary songbook!”
Callaway is widely recognised as one of America’s leading interpreters of the Great American Songbook. Alongside her acclaimed career as a singer and pianist, she is also known for writing and performing the theme song to The Nanny and for her Tony Award-nominated turn in Swing!.
Her extensive career has included collaborations with Barbra Streisand, more than 80 album recordings, and numerous honours including The Johnny Mercer Award for Songwriting and induction into The Women Songwriters Hall of Fame.
