Among some of the music she'll perform are songs by Jerry Herman, Stephen Sondheim, Flaherty & Ahrens, Frank Loesser, Maltby & Shire, and Kander & Ebb. You'll want to be there to welcome Ann back to the stage after her self-imposed "asylum" while she raised her kids, loved her husband and stepped into the zany world of education advocacy in the NYC Public School system. But she really wants to get back in the game and has a new hunger to claw her way back onto the Broadway stage. She's in it to win it.
