Tony Award nominee, Emmy winner and newly-minted Grammy nominee Liz Callaway made her Broadway debut in Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along. She has gone on to star in Baby, Miss Saigon, The Look of Love, The Three Musketeers, and for 5 years appeared as Grizabella in Cats. Off-Broadway credits include The Spitfire Grill (Drama Desk nomination), Marry Me a Little, and Brownstone. She also appeared in A Stephen Sondheim Evening, the legendary Follies in Concert at Lincoln Center, and “Inside the Actor’s Studio: Stephen Sondheim.” Regional and international credits include the one-person play Every Brilliant Thing, Dot in Sunday in the Park with George, Eva Peron in Evita, Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, and the European premiere of Sondheim on Sondheim at London’s Royal Festival Hall. Liz sang the Academy Award-nominated song “Journey to the Past” in the animated feature Anastasia. Other film work includes Jasmine in the two Aladdin sequels, The Swan Princess, Beauty and the Beast, and The Rewrite with The Hugh Grant. Her extensive concert and symphony career has included appearances in London, Paris, Iceland, Vietnam, Australia, China and nearly every major city in the U.S. She performs regularly with her sister Ann Hampton Callaway, as well as composer Stephen Schwartz, and has had the great pleasure of singing with Jimmy Webb, Paul Williams and the legendary Johnny Mathis. The Grammy-nominated “To Steve With Love: Liz Callaway Celebrates Sondheim” marks her eighth solo recording.
I love Liz Callaway, beautiful singer.
So beautiful! I think it's right to remind younger viewers of how astonishing this was at the time. Liz's easy belt and effortless - almost imperceptible shifts between registers were new and mind-blowing for many of us. Post "Baby", this became THE sound that many Broadway hopefuls were going for; so much so that this particular song got effectively banned at auditions for being overused.
One of the greatest voices ever on Broadway. Such range. And with such ease. Incredible. I still get chills when watching.
Who doesn't LOVE her????
Performing this song in May and I am so excited!! 🤩 truly such a beautiful song and so wonderful to perform!! One of my absolute favorites!
The true Mistress of Mixing.
Thank you! Can you tell Seth that?
@@LizCallaway SUCH AN ICON
The amazing Liz “mixing as fast as I can” Callaway
Nothing beats the brightness of Liz's voice.
I watched Lea Salonga performed this song. I thought it just a music but when i read the lyrics and watch the original performer...i was realy impressed with her voice, am a man now and loving my mommy so much. I played it again and again and again...
Such a masterclass in performance. Brava Liz!❤️
To have seen Liz Callaway in a solitary spotlight singing this song and it bringing down the house. Wow. The musical "Baby" is so wonderful and memorable.
LIz, every song you have ever sung simply became yours..no one elses.. True brilliance. Thank you for this one.
There is only one Liz Callaway. And she is a simply stunning voice of the Theatre. I do love this musical. “What Could Be Better?” is one of my favorite musical songs.
Do you remember this moment liz? Iconic!
Masterclass- So uplifting!
Masterclass performance
wow that made me cry my eyes out,. it is a feeling only a mon can now how beautiful these words are
So nice to hear this done from the time of the show. You sang with a lot of wisdom even then. Thanks Liz. Gabriel P.
MIX GOALS
I'm typing through tears. Thank you so much for posting this. I love this score. I wish I had seen it on Broadway. I remember singing "With You" at a wedding a number of years ago. (It was very well received, but as usual, when I sing at a wedding, the couple splits up shortly thereafter. Strangely, I haven't sung at a wedding in years . . . ) But this is such a terrific song. I can't imagine anyone else singing it but Liz. And she can still sing it and she STILL sounds amazing . . . in fact, better than ever. That's talent, dedication and love. She's got it all!
I understand the typing through tears... me too!
Thanks Eric!!! And very funny about singing at weddings!
Liz: The "Baby" reunion show on "Stars in the House" was terrific. Thank you for posting this clip so quickly, just as you promised.
Sensational! the mark of control and skill is in how effortless you made this sound and look. Bravo!!! big fan of yours! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Alex!
리즈 사랑합니다♡
I love your voice and song♡
-from your fan in south korea
I love this so much, Liz! I watched the Facebook live BABY reunion Wednesday night... and it made my heart sing! 🎶❤️🎶 I played Lizzie in college, and it is absolutely one of my favorite memories... I loved hearing all the stories from all of you about bringing the show to life. I laughed and cried... It was pure joy!
I love BABY. I love your voice. You singing “The Story Goes On” and “What Could Be Better?” and “Two People in Love” - and your voice as Anastasia... You have been a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. And what a wonderful soundtrack it is... Thank you!
Your performance on the Merv Griffin Show is amazing. ❤️ It’s the kind of performance I’ll keep coming back to whenever I could use a pick-me-up!
Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching the Baby reunion!
GORGEOUS!!
So so so moving, she transported everyone into another place. Such a special performer
Thanks for watching my videos and your kind words.
@@LizCallaway Thank you for existing and sharing your voice with the world, it truly is a better place with you in it. You inspire me and comfort me so so much.
The best!
...timeless...marvelous.
I never get tired of hearing you sing this (or anything else for that matter). Yours is a voice that has so many wonderful elements - sweetness, purity of tone, power, emotion, depth - I'm a huge fan. I'm a friend of Todd Graff's (I met you BRIEFLY many years ago) - I will send this to him today, he'll love it. xo
And there's add telling me you'll be in Bucks County in June!?! Would love to see you live again!
Saw you with Ann in Indianapolis. Big fan of you two.
Thanks for posting this after SITH show, Liz.
So great to see the "Baby" folks on "Stars" show...I'm afraid I got weepy. So lovely!
Liz your first hosting gig was fantastic. Congratulations 🎉 The Story Goes On is more resonant now than ever! ❤️❤️❤️
Bravo!!
Beautiful!! This Album started the love affair with Ms Callaway that continues to this day!!

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get chills.❤️
Me too!!
Masterclass performance - bravo X
Thank you Rich.
Liz! Had you sung it many times with a hand held at this point? Or was it totally odd and off-putting to hold a mic? You'd never know if it was but I'm so curious... You singing this song still absolutely kills me. I've heard other OVER sing it , God love'm they just don't touch your interpretation. xo
I think it was my first time singing it with a handheld mic!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a beautiful voice...a sui generis....
Big heart too for you liz....thanks for showcasing your God given talent to the world....fan from philippines
