A 'Lucky and Excited' Liz Callaway Returns to Boston Area for Concert February 22

EDGE: I love the video clip on your website of Ann (Hampton Callaway, Liz's sister) and you sitting at the piano singing "Come in From the Rain." Aside from how beautiful it sounds, the love between the two of you is palpable. When will the two of you come to Boston again to perform together?

Liz Callaway: We are so overdue. We must work on that. In the "Sibling Revelry show," the "Huge Medley" is even huger now. I'm so glad I'm coming back to Boston myself. I know a lot of people.

EDGE: You've often performed with Gay Men's Choruses across the country. Do you have any concerts lined up with any Gay Men's Choruses for this coming Pride month?

Liz Callaway: Not for this year's Pride month. I do have something not yet confirmed later in 2025. I hope it happens because it would be very cool. My concerts, although, I often think about what is happening in the world. I want to entertain. But also be aware of what is going on. Putting a program together, there is a lot that goes into it.

EDGE: In your recordings an concerts, you mix a healthy dose of pop songs in with your Broadway repertoire. Tell us about what appeals to you about singing pop songs.

Liz Callaway: The fun of singing pop music is making the songs theatrical and finding the story. And I love the arrangement that Alex did of "Eleanor Rigby"/"Walk On By."

EDGE: You return to Crazy Coqs in London in March. How will you tailor your show for the London audience?

Liz Callaway: I'm very excited for that. I love to sing a lot of Sondheim in my program, and the last time I performed in London I did 6 sold out Sondheim concerts. The London audience loves Sondheim and story songs. I will be doing a nice amount of Sondheim. I'm using a wonderful pianist from London. I love singing for a London audience. They are smart and receptive. I love London.
