Cabaret Life NYC: Ann Hampton Callaway Has Become The Quintessential Queen of 54 Below

Although Ann Hampton Callaway has been performing as a nightclub nightingale for around 30 years, I feel like I've caught her act in the absolute prime of her career. Because while 54 Below may have opened it's glorious nightclub in June with Broadway musical legend Patti Lapone, and subsequently booked an All-Star team of women musical theater standouts such as Marin Mazzie, Rebecca Luker, Faith Prince, Sheri Rene Scott, Leslie Uggams, and even Ann's sister Liz Callaway, it's only fitting that a charismatic cabaret chanteuse and down-to-earth diva like Ann Hampton Callaway has become the quintessential Queen of 54 Below.

My Favorite (Theatrical) Things - 2012 In Review

For me, 2012 has been a fantastic year. In February, I found out I had won Broadway Across America - Houston's reviewing contest for the second half of their 2011-12 season. Having always wanted to be a theater reviewer, I was thrilled beyond imagination. Sitting in Sarofim Hall waiting for Carrie Fisher to take the stage in her one-woman show WISHFUL DRINKING, I knew I didn't want this journey to end. On May 16, 2012, I contacted BroadwayWorld, and they gave me the opportunity to cover the impressive and large Houston Theatre Scene. My tenure in Houston has not been terribly long, but as 2012 draws to a close, I wanted to take the opportunity to review some of my favorite experiences that writing for BroadwayWorld has afforded me.

There are probably few pop-culture figures that were less likely to grace a Broadway stage than former Heaveyweight champion Mike Tyson. However, in August 2012, after a run at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, the controversial boxer debuted 'Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth' at Broadway's Longacre Theatre. In this one-man show, directed by film director Spike Lee ('Do the Right Thing', 'Malcolm X'), Tyson discusses everything from is difficult childhood, his boxing career, his 1992 rape conviction, and much more.
