Whoopie !!! Something called "Sister Act" is playing to good crowds in the West End. Well, hang on. Sisters who happen to be Tony-nominated actresses Liz and Ann Hampton Callaway, will premiere their brand new concert act Jan. 10, at the Iridium Jazz Club in Manhattan. It's sure to be a sell-out!
Entitled Boom!, the show, according to press notes, "celebrates the soundtrack of these sisters' childhood with unforgettable songs from the 60s and 70s." Expect songs made famous by Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Carly Simon, The Beatles, Paul Simon, Jimmy Webb and Stevie Wonder. Show time is 6pm.
The actresses will also "share heartwarming and humorous stories of their years growing up in Chicago and New York." Song titles will include "Both Sides Now," "Up, Up and Away," "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be," "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" and "Downtown," among others.
Not only a singer, Ann Hampton Callaway is also an acclaimed songwriter, whose works have been performed by Barbra Streisand, Patti LuPone and dozens of others. For her Broadway bow in Swing!, Callaway garnered a Tony nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical, and her many recordings include Ann Hampton Callaway, Bring Back Romance, To Ella with Love and After Ours. Callaway is also a recipient of 14 Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs (MAC) Awards.
